The Lakes Area Music Festival sparks connections between its central Minnesota community and the nation’s top classical performers to create transformative musical experiences. Each season performances range from chamber music to symphonic orchestra to opera and ballet, performed by an all-star roster of over 250 artists from top orchestras and opera companies worldwide. In addition, educational opportunities are offered for audiences of all ages – including a week-long daycamp for children, performance-based opportunities for youth, open rehearsals, pre-concert lectures, and so much more.
