The Charlottesville Chamber Music Festival returns for its 27th season, September 8–19, 2026, with two weeks of concerts that explore the influence of revolutionary thought in this 250th anniversary year of our nation. Founded in 2000 by Charlottesville natives and accomplished musicians Raphael Bell and Tim Summers, the Festival continues its tradition of bringing internationally acclaimed musicians to Charlottesville for performances that combine artistic excellence with emotional connection and intellectual curiosity.
In keeping with its commitment to community access and engagement, the Charlottesville Chamber Music Festival will again present a free Community Concert at The Paramount Theater, offering audiences an opportunity to experience world-class chamber music in an informal and welcoming setting. The one-hour program will feature Festival artists in a performance designed to be accessible to longtime concertgoers and first-time listeners alike. The event reflects the Festival’s belief that live music can bring people together across generations and backgrounds, fostering connection through shared artistic experience.
