These formal evening concerts are designed to challenge listeners, and take
audiences on a musical journey of discovery. Drawing on influential chamber works from
the Classical, Romantic, and 20th century canon, the Walla Walla Chamber Music Festival is
also committed to championing the music of our own time. Each summer will feature the
world premiere of chamber music by one or more of today’s most engaging composers.
The Festival Series constitutes a “must see” event in the cultural calendar of Walla Walla’s
thriving arts community.
