ChamberFest West Annual Fundraiser

Date: October 6, 2025
Time: 7:30pm
Location: Top of The BOW Tower
Featuring: Roman Rabinovich & Aubree Oliverson
Supported by: Ovintiv

CFW’s second annual fundraiser is coming soon! Join us at the top of the BOW Tower to celebrate and support ChamberFest West. Sip a glass of champagne and sample delicious hors d’oeuvres as you take in spectacular views of the city at night. Visit the silent auction featuring a selection of items of interest to everyone who appreciates music, art and wine.

Artistic director Roman Rabinovich has invited one of CFW’s favourites, violinist Aubree Oliverson, to craft a sparkling evening of music for violin and piano – an inspired journey through Mozart’s elegance, Debussy’s shimmering colours, Beethoven’s lyricism, Saint-Saëns’ fire, and Kreisler’s irresistible charm.

Program details and tickets are available at showpass. Tickets are $250, and a portion of your ticket price will be eligible for a tax receipt.

Extraordinary Performances

Each of our summer festivals is a unique experience shared with our audience. The fusion of feelings each listener has to a live, intimate performance creates a special collective moment that lives beyond the concert hall.

These performances go beyond technical mastery, they’re about connection, vulnerability, and shared energy. Whether it’s a debut artist or a seasoned ensemble, every note contributes to an experience that feels both personal and unforgettable.

International Musicians

ChamberFest West brings internationally acclaimed classical musicians to perform with some of Canada’s best and together they create a unique fusion of styles and interpretations.

These artists are hand-picked not only for their technical brilliance but for their passion, creativity, and openness to collaboration. Their performances go beyond the notes on the page, offering fresh interpretations and unforgettable musical encounters that reflect the global spirit of ChamberFest West.

What is Chamber Music?

Chamber music is composed for performance by a small group of instruments, traditionally a group that could fit inside a palace chamber. There is usually one performer per part and chamber compositions frequently resemble a conversation among the musicians.

As a result, playing chamber music requires special skills, both musical and social, that differ from the skills required for playing solo or symphonic works. Performances become a personal experience between the artists and the audience.
