Denver Chamber Music Festival presents internationally renowned musicians, including local favorites, in thematic, world-class chamber music summer concerts. While there are opportunities to experience chamber music in Denver throughout the academic year, there is little focus on it during the summer. Committed to building a diverse chamber music audience, Denver Chamber Music Festival strives to fill this void with a festival experience combining cherished chamber music favorites with works by new and living composers, creating a unique and gratifying concert experience for the Denver community.
Schedule of Events:
7:30 pm: Folk Rhythms and Timeless melodies

Gabriela Lena Frank's Four Folk Songs for violin, cello, and piano brings the vibrant melodies and rhythmic vitality of Peru to life in a piano trio. In celebration of Maurice Ravel's 150th birthday, his Violin Sonata takes center stage, blending classical form with the raw energy of jazz and the charm of Spanish folk music. The evening concludes with Brahms' String Sextet in B-flat Major, Op. 18, a work brimming with sweeping melodies and lush harmonies-Brahms at his most lyrical, radiant, and expressive and a crown jewel of the chamber music repertoire
