Make time for these
Bay View Music Festival is billed as North America's oldest chamber music festival. Faculty artists and a collegiate young-artist program perform chamber music, opera, musical theatre and pops concerts, and the Sunday 'Summer Sunset Vespers' series in John M. Hall Auditorium (8pm) has run since the 1800s. The 2026 season, the association's 151st, opened with a free concert on June 14 and closed with a Grand Finale on August 9.
