About Fontana
Fontana seeks to enrich the human spirit by supporting the creation and performance of high-quality chamber music within the diverse communities we serve. We present traditional and modern music performed by small ensembles.
Presenting great musicians
Fontana’s programming features an extensive array of world-renowned performers – both established and emerging – and diverse programming ranging from classical to contemporary to jazz.
Delivered in traditional as well as alternative settings, Fontana presents a mainstage concert series from September through May, held primarily at the Dalton Center Recital Hall on the campus of Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. View the 2025-2026 season »
