Amy Grant Joins Chautauqua Institution Summer Schedule

amy grant was added to the Chautauqua Institution summer schedule, giving the venue another named draw for August buyers. The booking sits alongside two other performances already on the calendar, including Josh Groban and Kenny G, and it sharpens the value of watching the rollout closely.

Josh Groban Sets Aug. 13

Thursday, Aug. 13 brings Josh Groban with the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra for Josh Groban: Stage, Screen and Symphony. Tickets for that performance go on sale Friday, which gives buyers a first concrete date to act on inside the summer lineup.

The presence of Groban and Amy Grant in the same schedule points to a season built around recognizable names rather than one-off fillers. For attendees deciding where to spend on summer entertainment, that kind of lineup makes the Chautauqua calendar easier to weigh against other options.

Kenny G Returns Aug. 27

Thursday, Aug. 27 at 8 p.m. brings Kenny G to the Chautauqua Amphitheater, adding a second late-summer date to the same stretch. His solo career took off after he signed with Arista Records in 1982, and Breathless became the best-selling instrumental album ever.

Kenny G has sold 35 million albums worldwide, and his first holiday album, Miracles: The Holiday Album, sold over 13 million copies. Those numbers make his booking more than a nostalgia play; they signal that Chautauqua is leaning on performers with clear commercial history to support ticket demand.

Chautauqua’s August Ticket Window

The practical move for readers is simple: Josh Groban tickets go on sale Friday, while Kenny G is already placed for Aug. 27 at 8 p.m. Amy Grant’s addition adds another reason to keep checking the summer schedule as the venue fills out its booking slate.

For a summer calendar built around named acts, the real story is access. The earlier buyers lock in August seats, the more likely the venue turns these added shows into actual attendance instead of just marquee names on a page.
