Geneva Music Festival

01/26/2025

Our founder, Geoffrey Herd, was featured in the Finger Lakes Times as we gear up for the 15th season of GMF! We’re less than a week away from our official lineup reveal and beyond excited to celebrate 15 years of incredible music and community.

While studying at Yale University, Geoffrey Herd began looking for meaningful opportunities to perform chamber music — and frequently traveled around the country to attend music festivals.

In 2024, we had the privilege of bringing the Bariba Union duo to 120 kids at the St. Francis – St. Stephen School. This, and moments like these, live close to our hearts! 🎶

Education has always been at the core of GMF’s mission. By making music accessible to everyone, we aim to nurture creativity and build connections throughout our community.
