The theme of “Groundbreakers” is a guiding force behind the 11th annual Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival. Nine days of programming spotlight trailblazing composers from the last 500 years — from Ludwig van Beethoven to Igor Stravinsky to John Cage — who challenged the conventions of their day. Talks, concerts, master classes and a children’s workshop engage classical music lovers and foster what festival artistic directors Gloria Chien and Soovin Kim describe as “a fresh appreciation for the specific ways each of these geniuses changed the world for future generations!”
