An extravaganza of concurrent performances in venues across the Eastman School of Music campus, Winterfest features ensembles and students ranging in age from middle school to adults. The day-long celebration starts at 9:20 a.m. and features a wide array of music styles and ensemble types, and includes holiday favorites on each program.
