Chautauqua Institution by Taborri

It has been my immense pleasure and honor to sing with several choruses at Chautuaqua Institution with the Chautauqua Symphony and Uriel Segel. Chautauqua is a very special place. Last summer, relaxing on the lawn by the lake below the Atheneum Hotel post afternoon rehearsal, I sat and simply relaxed and took it all in. My senses and my mind were attuned outward, unfettered, not over-stimulated in the way this modern bustling life causes us to do. Folks walked, children rode their bicycles down the lane by the lake, people sat on the porch of the Atheneum and chatted. Cottage gardens welcomed visitors to their gingerbread cottages. A quiet flow of life processed. My favorite performance was Carmina Burana for the Chautauqua Symphony’s 75th anniversary.

Been there and going again! by afinn

My husband and I both worked at Chautauqua as college students and now we are taking our daugther there for the first time this summer, I just booked our accommodations!

It is a wonderful relaxing community, filled with people interested in the world around them. It moves at a slow pace, but at the same time makes the mind think! I can’t wait!

My mom was big on the all-education-all-the-time thing, so I spent many a summer here taking classes. And you know what? I’m glad I did. It’s a beautiful place, if a bit homogenous, and quite a pleasant way to while away a summer’s day in upstate New York.

Utopian. by sanbeiji

Just a great place. I played three summers there while in college – ’91, ’92, ’93. Is that pizza place still right across the street from the gate? They had awesome buffalo wings and deep dish pizza. Order that and a pitcher of Molson and we were set, baby!
