Mayfest returns in 2026!

Thanks to the generosity and devotion of private donors, we are able to present another wonderful festival this year. We can’t thank them enough!  Our guest musicians reflect not only old musical friendships, but a younger generation of some of the best performers we could wrangle.  The programs feature music from Bach to Kurtág, including gems by Arensky, Dvorak, Puccini, Brahms, and a new commission by Cornellian Joseph Phibbs, a tribute to his teacher, Steven Stucky. Join us, as we share in the music-making with our friends, offering our gratitude to this wonderful community and the music that helps bind us together. 

— Miri Yampolsky and Xak Bjerken, Artistic Directors
