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.  

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.

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.

  • "This second incarnation of the new festival demonstrated an impressive maturity beyond last year's fine opening, evident in the imaginative programming and in the absolutely superlative performances."
