We’re teaming up with Discover Cayuga to combine two of Ithaca’s greatest resources: the beauty of Cayuga Lake with the beauty of live music.  Join us for a special one-hour cruise around the lake, featuring CCO musicians Susan Waterbury (violin) and Elizabeth Simkin (cello).  They’ll be joined by fellow Ithaca College faculty member Kyle Armbrust (viola) as they present a captivating arrangement of Bach’s Goldberg Variations for string trio.  Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear meaningful music performed live, surrounded by the nature that makes our region such a wonderful place to live, work, and visit.

Discover Cayuga’s boat (The Teal) normally accommodates 80 passengers, but due to the need to prioritize safety and health considerations, only 22 tickets will be sold for each cruise.  Be sure to book your ticket today before these cruises sell out!  Proceeds will benefit both the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra and Discover Cayuga.
