“All that Glitters” exhibition opens. Closing August 7. This exhibition takes its cue from the aphorism “All that Glitters is not Gold”. The dazzling works in this exhibition use embellishments of glitter and gold to question notions of value. These contemporary artists celebrate what is often deemed to be of lesser worth than money, success, or power. They examine the weight of inheritance. They illustrate the importance of human contact, chosen family, and hope in dark times. This exhibition is generously sponsored by Brenda & Larry Thompson.

The dazzling works in this exhibition use embellishments of glitter and gold to question notions of value. These contemporary artists celebrate what is often deemed to be of lesser worth than money, success, or power. They examine the weight of inheritance. They illustrate the importance of human contact, chosen family, and hope in dark times. This exhibition is generously sponsored by Brenda & Larry Thompson.

Making her SPAC debut on this program is American pianist Lara Downes, a trailblazer on- and off-stage and an acclaimed NPR host. As a chart-topping recording artist, a powerfully charismatic performer, a curator and tastemaker, she is recognized as a cultural visionary on the national arts scene.
Downes will perform two SPAC premieres: A Lovesome Thing: Billy Strayhorn Suite, co-commissioned by SPAC, Downes and the Boston Symphony and featuring three selections from the music of Billy Strayhorn, as well as Florence Price’s Piano Concerto in One Movement, which evokes Price’s experiences as a Black woman raised in the post-Civil War South. This stunning Concerto includes references to spirituals, call-and-response, and the “juba”—a lively, syncopated plantation dance that predates the Civil War.
Closing the program is Brahms’s Second Symphony, possibly his most popular, and said to be his personal favorite. Its pastoral aura surely accounts for some of its appeal; but there is tension and drama as well, building to an extraordinary, triumphant finale.
Tickets range from $29-$90.

The dazzling works in this exhibition use embellishments of glitter and gold to question notions of value. These contemporary artists celebrate what is often deemed to be of lesser worth than money, success, or power. They examine the weight of inheritance. They illustrate the importance of human contact, chosen family, and hope in dark times. This exhibition is generously sponsored by Brenda & Larry Thompson.

“All that Glitters” exhibition opens. Closing August 7. This exhibition takes its cue from the aphorism “All that Glitters is not Gold”. The dazzling works in this exhibition use embellishments of glitter and gold to question notions of value. These contemporary artists celebrate what is often deemed to be of lesser worth than money, success, or power. They examine the weight of inheritance. They illustrate the importance of human contact, chosen family, and hope in dark times. This exhibition is generously sponsored by Brenda & Larry Thompson.

The Philadelphia Orchestra’s residency finale is highlighted by Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Written just a few short years before his death, “Beethoven’s profound ode to brotherhood, salvation, and pure joy reminds us why we are here as an orchestra,” says Yannick, “and why we constantly try to make our world better by playing music.”
Philadelphia Orchestra Composer-in-Residence Gabriela Lena Frank draws inspiration from Beethoven and her Peruvian culture in Pachamama Meets an Ode, challenging us to look at gifts from the past with new and searching eyes.
The evening culminates with a brilliant fireworks display.

Pop singer-songwriter Claud is set to take the Chevy Park stage on Pride Day, a day focused on celebrating the LGBTQ+ community.! The former Syracuse University student is best known for coming-of-age lyrics that explore the various stages of relationships, delivered through melancholic, bubblegum pop music that leaves listeners feeling good. It started during their second semester in 2018, when Claud and their best friend Joshua Mehling – also a Syracuse University student at the time – released an EP under the pseudonym, Toast. As this gained momentum, Claud made the decision to pursue music full time with their current moniker.
2020 saw Claud become the first artist to sign with Phoebe Bridgers’ record label, Saddest Factory Records. The debut album “Super Monster” was released early in 2021, featuring a compilation that blends alt-rock synonymous with the 90s, bubblegum pop of the 2000s and the energy of modern, online life through songs including “Gold,” “Wish You Were Gay,” and “Soft Spot” - which Vogue ranked among the top songs of 2021.

Bryce Vine will bring his genre-blending, East-Meets-West-Coast sound to Chevy Court on Sunday, August 28 at 6 p.m.. This is Vine’s first appearance at the Great New York State Fair. The 34-year-old breakout star is known for his laid-back, hip-hop vibe. The success of the double-platinum “Drew Barrymore” from his debut album “Carnival” sent Vine on a sold-out headline tour in 2019 – and he hasn’t slowed down since. Vine gained more momentum with the platinum “La La Land” featuring YG and “I’m Not Alright” with Loud Luxury. His signature sound fuses punk spirit – which alternative music fans may associate with Blink 182 – with homages to hip hop artists including Tupac and Outkast. All concerts in the Chevrolet Music Series are free with Fair admission. All concerts at the Fair are sponsored by Chevrolet.
