The 2026 ICCA Chamber Music Festival with Kairos and special guests
– presented in partnership with Sunnco
The 2026 ICCA Chamber Music Festival invites professional chamber musicians to work with middle school, high school and college level string players and pianists, selected for their playing ability and desire to develop their collaborative skills. In addition to a rigorous musical schedule, young artists will also experience and participate in masterclasses, reading sessions and related activities. Throughout the two weeks, public concerts will be held for the benefit of the community.
All students will receive coachings and masterclasses from the artist faculty and free tickets to Festival Artist concerts. Each session will conclude with a concert featuring performances of the young artists. Through focused chamber music collaboration, participants will strengthen their ensemble skills, musical independence, and connections with their peers—qualities essential to future music-making. Tuition assistance is available for each session.
Together in the inspiring natural setting of Icicle Creek, we will celebrate learning, creativity, and the joy of making music together!
