Gateways Music Festival

Concert series features performances from the Gateway Music Festival.

This fall, tune in to Gateways Radio here on Blue Lake!

Gateways Radio features exceptional compositions and exquisite performances, celebrating the Gateways Music Festival’s mission of connecting and supporting classical musicians of African descent and serving as a source of inspiration, enlightenment, and engagement for communities—especially communities underrepresented in classical music.

The Gateways Music Festival was founded at the Eastman School of Music in 1993. Gateways Radio is a showcase for performances from Festival ensembles including the Gateways Brass Collective, Gateways Chamber Players, and Gateways Music Festival Orchestra, as well as prominent guest ensembles and artists such as Imani Winds and the Catalyst Quartet.

Gateways Radio is hosted by Loki Karuna and produced by WXXI Classical in Rochester, New York. Tune in Saturday afternoons at 4 starting September 6.

Klay came into radio as a volunteer folk music host on a small public radio station in Ft. Dodge (IA) in the late ’80s. He became Director of Broadcasting for Blue Lake in 2022. You will hear Klay filling in from time to time where needed.
