At its second-annual edition, Cascade Peaks ChamberFest is showcasing the amazing young emerging artists from the Academy Chamber Music Program.
These up-and-coming artists will perform three concerts featuring chamber works prepared during an intensive week of coaching and rehearsals. During their time in the program, the musicians get to experience daily coaching sessions, self-directed ensemble rehearsals, and masterclasses with internationally acclaimed artist faculty.
The festival takes place at the stunning RockRidge Canyon resort located on the outskirts of Princeton, B.C. from June 20 to 22, in the Rock Performance Hall—a 350-seat, state-of-the-art concert venue situated right on the grounds of the resort. Festival passholders can enjoy exclusive opportunities, including masterclasses, open rehearsals, talks, social events, and wine tastings, with several of Canada’s most renowned musicians and rising talents.
Come hear the future of chamber music in Canada. Festival passes and single concert tickets are available at Cascade Peaks ChamberFest.
