The Spring Benefit is GMF’s largest fundraiser – each year, your support is vital to the festival. This spring we have a fresh and exciting lineup of pieces selected by Director Geoffrey Herd – some of his personal favorites – and performed by GMF artists-in-residence joined by some very noteworthy guest musicians.
The concert this year will be held on the Hobart and William Smith Colleges campus, in the Gearan Center for the Performing Arts (299 Pulteney St., Geneva). On Saturday, March 25th, beginning at 7pm, you are invited to join us for a reception with exceptional local wines from Hermann J. Wiemer and a dessert buffet, followed by the musical performance.
During the intermission, select items from the online auction will be auctioned off in person. You can purchase tickets to the concert ($60 per person) at GenevaMusicFestival.com/springbenefit.
