Charlottesville Chamber Music Festival Presents: Free Community Concert

The Charlottesville Chamber Music Festival, which draws outstanding musicians from North America and abroad every September, celebrates its 26th season with a series of concerts from September 7 to 20, 2025.

The 2025 Charlottesville Chamber Music Festival is full of color from around the world, from classic pieces by Schubert, Rachmaninov, and Brahms, to the rhythms of Latin America, and Stravinsky’s theatrical L’Histoire du soldat, and so much more. Playing music is telling stories, the expression of culture, the sound of a place, sometimes a place left behind. It is memories, the expression of emotions deep inside and ones to be wildly danced and celebrated.

This free one-hour concert should appeal to both classical music fans and curious music explorers alike. This will be an eclectic program for strings, clarinet, and piano, featuring music from Brazil, as well as works by Niccolò Paganini, de Beriot, Rebecca Clarke, Osmo Vänskä, and others.

School groups and other groups of 10 or more that need to be seated together, please call our Box Office to let us know of your attendance.

Edward Arron, Raphael Bell, Cristian Budu, Jennifer Frautschi, Erin Keefe, Muriel Razavi, Timothy Summers, Osmo Vänskä

Other 2025 Festival concerts at the Paramount include a ticketed events on Thursday, September 11 at 7:30PM and Friday, September 19 at 7:30PM.
