The White Lake Chamber Music Society (WLCMS) was established in 2005 to enrich the musical landscape of the White Lake area with live classical music performances and community education. Today, it continues this mission by regularly presenting world-class concerts and recitals. Offerings also include an impressive list of educational opportunities, scholarship programs, and enrichment events as part of its annual programming—the centerpiece of which is the annual White Lake Chamber Music Festival, which began on Thursday, July 16 - kicking off 10 days of great music-making around the White Lake area.
Listen here on demand as Blue Lake Public Radio's Foley Schuler previews this year's Festival with Bob Swan, retired from an illustrious 36-year career as violist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and one of the driving forces of the Festival over the years—who for many years was its Artistic Director and remains still very much involved in shapings its vision in an advisory capacity.
