CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL

By its nature, chamber music, often described as the "music of friends" for its ability to encourage musical conversation between ensemble members, has a special way of honing and expanding  a musician's skills. EBMF is delighted to support youth exploring this form of musical expression with its Chamber Music Festival, inaugurated in 2018. This venue is an opportunity for young musicians to experience the excitement and pleasure of chamber music, as both performers and as audience members.​
