Grammy winners and genre-bending stars will fill Finger Lakes venues this spring, according to the Finger Lakes Times, as the Geneva Music Festival returns with its biggest season yet.
The 2026 festival runs May 19 through June 14, expanding to four weeks with classical, jazz, bluegrass, and Americana performances. Organizers themed the season “America the Beautiful: Finger Lakes Edition,” pairing concerts with local wine tastings and regional artisan showcases.
The lineup brings back familiar faces like Jinjoo Cho and Henry Kramer while adding major names, including jazz standout Fred Hersch, fiddler Mark O’Connor, and acclaimed pianist Jeremy Denk. Free pop-up concerts will also pop up around Geneva, keeping the festival accessible.
