A Free Family Concert with Natalie Merchant & Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra Musicians DESCRIPTION:Stuart Chafetz\, Conductor\nNatalie Merchant\, Composer and Vocals \nAmerican singer-songwriter\, recording artist\, and activist Natalie Merchant will be in residence at Chautauqua Institution this summer (July 25-August 2\, 2026) for Week Five’s programmatic theme\, “Art & Artists Against the Odds.” \nMerchant will give a matinee family-friendly concert performance with a chamber orchestra ensemble of Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra musicians\, under the baton of Principal Pops Conductor Stuart Chafetz\, which will be free to the public. The concert will center on the music of Merchants’ Cabinet of Wonder\, a joyful reimagining of Mother Goose developed in collaboration with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra\, and will also include classic children’s poetry that she adapted to music for her highly praised double-album release\, Leave Your Sleep (2010 Nonesuch Records). \nA Chautauqua County native\, Merchant was strongly influenced by local artists and her summer encounters with arts at the Institution during her formative years. At the age of fifteen\, she spent a summer volunteering in a therapeutic arts camp for developmentally and physically challenged children in Ashville. It was there that she first witnessed the transformative power of art education and was inspired to become an art therapist. Although her life path led her to a career as professional musician\, she has continued to honor her commitment to the healing power of music. Merchant will combine her performances on the grounds of Chautauqua site visits to locally sponsored children’s programs for workshops and sing-a-longs. Since leaving the area in 1988\, she has returned several times over the years to perform solo and with the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra. \nMerchant will also appear in the Chautauqua Lecture Series on July 29th at 10:45am; her talk will focus on her life-long commitment to using music as powerful means of communication\, community building\, and a tool for social justice.
