Welcome to Bendigo Chamber Music Festival 2024.

Welcome to our fifth Bendigo Chamber Music Festival – a festival of celebration and fireworks.

Welcome to our fifth Bendigo Chamber Music Festival program.

With BCMF firmly established in Australia’s musical calendar, we are delighted to continue our partnership with the Young Classical Artists Trust in London, which we began last year with such success. This year we welcome stellar violinist Irène Duval and extraordinary oboist Armand Djikoloum exclusively to Bendigo.

Our wonderful BCMF artist family of Sophie, Natsuko, Tobi and Daniel are joined by piano royalty Anna Goldsworthy and Tim Young, as well as glorious violinist Holly Piccoli who now calls Adelaide home, and the much-admired Orava quartet’s violist, Tom Chawner. Australia’s own international bassoon superstar Lyndon Watts and outstanding Mezzo-soprano Ashlyn Tymms join us for the first time.

We continue our commitment to the future by presenting three rising stars of ANAM, Louise Turnbull, Jamie Miles and Noah Laurence, performing both individually and together, as well as our master class for local musicians. A special program highlight this time is our community concert with the Bendigo Symphony Orchestra and Luke Severn, featuring two Bendigo-born soloists Andrew Young now with MSO, and Noah Laurence presently at ANAM.

As always the hugely varied program is full of brilliance and poetry, bringing Bendigo’s remarkable venues to life with the sounds of passionate music-making. Can’t wait to see you there!
