We’re thrilled to announce our second Avaloch Chamber Music Festival, featuring internationally acclaimed chamber musicians from some of the world’s most innovative and celebrated ensembles. We will also have an Art Historian-in-Residence for the festival, who will provide daily interactive lectures about the cultural context and artistic movements surrounding all of the programmed works at the festival.
