Winchester Chamber Music Festival

Friday 1 – Monday 4 May 2026

“I loved every minute of this year’s Festival, playing with such incredible musicians to highly appreciative audiences that continue to grow in number. They seemed to love the programmes so I feel my work is done for 2026! I will take a deep breath before embarking on plans for the 2027 Festival, 30 April – 3 May. It will be our 20th anniversary year so I already have some interesting things up my sleeve, but it will be hard to beat the exceptional level and charisma that the 2026 guests brought to our town.

One of my highlights was our first Young Musicians Platform where so many talented music students had their chance to shine and I was thrilled that our community and educational events complemented and combined with the professional concerts more than ever this year.”

Chair of the Festival Trust, Tony Stoller, said:

“This year’s Festival has been a triumph, blending old favourites with unfamiliar new works in a way that has been both inclusive and accessible. We look forward to next year’s Festival which will mark our 20th anniversary.”
