This summer, Summerfest invites you to feel the pulse of the American spirit. Our 2026 season explores the vibrant intersection of classical tradition and the infectious energy of jazz, where American harmonies and rhythms breathe new life into chamber music favorites.
Across three weekends in July, we journey through the syncopated heart of Ragtime, the lush textures of Ravel, the playful "walking" rhythms of Gershwin, and so much more. Join us as we explore what happens when the concert hall meets the jazz club and composers infuse their works with the rhythm of the modern world.
