Welcome to…
season 2026
a revitalised Sunshine Coast Chamber Music Festival
After five consecutive festivals, 2026 marks a return to the true spirit of chamber music — smaller settings, closer connections, and a more personal experience.
This year, we invite you to slow down the tempo — to step away from the scale of traditional festivals and rediscover chamber music as it was intended: personal, expressive, and deeply connected.
