Join us for Kent Blossom Music Festival

The acclaimed Kent Blossom Music Festival returns this summer for its 2024 season. The 56 year-old partnership between Kent State University and The Cleveland Orchestra is a five-week, immersive celebration of orchestral, chamber, and solo music and is the only partnership of its kind between a major American orchestra and a public university. From Sun., June 23 through Sun., July 28, the festival will host four faculty concerts, young artist concerts, and a culminating performance at Blossom Music Center.
