Celebrating 30 years of chamber music at its finest!

The Victoria Summer Music Festival is delighted to announce our 30th season, featuring recent winners of major prizes alongside established artists.

We are especially pleased to welcome James Ehnes back to VSMF, as he is celebrating a special year of his own with a 50th birthday tour of Canada. It's truly an honour to be the Victoria stop on that tour.

We hope you plan to join us!
