Chamberfest

The 2022 edition of Ottawa Chamberfest opened last night with gorgeous classical music in the equally gorgeous Carleton-owned Dominion-Chalmers United Church.

In honour of their 50th anniversary and the generosity of Marina Kun and her family, Chamberfest will feature a special event celebrating Kun Shoulder Rest on July 30.

Mark Fewer, Yolanda Bruno, Julian Schwarz, and Joel Quarrington. Four of the most popular classical musicians in North America came together at Chamberfest.

Pianist Janina Fialkowska celebrated 70 with a triumphant return to Chamberfest, playing pieces by Carl Maria von Weber, Franz Schubert, and Frédéric Chopin. A welcome encore not on the program was Claude Debussy’s popular ‘Clair de Lune’—an acoustic balm for the difficult waters the world currently finds itself in and a gentle send off into the early spring night.

Today, Chamberfest organizers announced their expanded lineup for the 2021 festival, and its rich with a diversity of music from across Canada and the globe, including local standouts and Juno Award-winning talent.
