We are absolutely delighted to announce the return of the Clear Lake Chamber Music Festival for its 18th year! This beloved cultural event has been a true gem in Westman, captivating audiences with the beauty of classical music and showcasing exceptional talent from around the world.

This year’s festival holds a special significance as we come together to celebrate anniversary (August 19) of the legendary composer and pianist, Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff (1873-1943). It has been 150 years since his birth, and we are honored to pay tribute to his remarkable contributions to the world of music.

We are excited to present (August 26, morning) one of our most popular morning events, the “Coffee Concert/Serious Fun,” which promises to be a delightful and engaging experience for all attendees.

But that’s not all; we have something entirely new and enchanting in store for you this year! Prepare to be captivated by a beautiful romantic candlelight and relaxing evening concert (August 26, evening), designed to provide a soothing and unforgettable experience for everyone present.

We are deeply grateful for the support of our sponsors and volunteers, whose unwavering dedication has made this festival possible. With their help, we strive not only to entertain our existing audience but also to extend the magic of classical music to new horizons. Our aim is to reach audiences who may not have experienced the wonders of this genre before, by incorporating a diverse program that combines different styles of music.

As we eagerly prepare for the festival, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all of you, our treasured audiences, for your continued enthusiasm and support. Your love for music fuels our passion, and we can’t wait to share these extraordinary performances with you.

Mark your calendars and join us for the Clear Lake Chamber Music Festival 2023 – a celebration of music, culture, and togetherness. Let the melodies resonate in your hearts, and may this festival be a source of joy and inspiration for all.
