Beginning Tuesday, September 8 the Charlottesville Chamber Music Festival will present international musicians in seven concerts spanning classical repertoire and contemporary compositions.
Five series concerts take place at The Paramount Theater on the Downtown Mall and Old Cabell Hall at the University of Virginia. The musicians will also present an hour-long midday concert, free and open to the community, at The Paramount Theater, on Friday, September 11. There will be an informal, improvisational concert on September 18 at the Southern Café and Music Hall, just off the Downtown Mall.
The Festival’s founders, Charlottesville natives and Juilliard graduates Raphael Bell, cello, and Timothy Summers, violin, reside in Europe and perform with major European orchestras – Bell as principal cello of the Royal Flemish Philharmonic and Summers as first violin with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. They return to Charlottesville each September with friends and colleagues from Europe and North America to present programs featuring traditional classical repertoire, as well as contemporary works that reflect the latest developments in the ever-expanding world of classical music.
Tickets for the events are on sale now.
