2026 Season:

July 31 – August 23, 2026

This season, PASSION takes center stage at the Lakes Area Music Festival. From the thrilling spark of an opening gala with internationally acclaimed dancers to the moonlit intimacy of Schoenberg’s Transfigured Night and the raw emotion of Stravinsky’s Petrushka, each program invites us to feel more deeply. With the powerful drama of Bizet’s Carmen, LAMF’s 18th season brings world-class artists and unforgettable summer moments to the Gichi-ziibi Center for the Arts.
