Welcome to Westport Festival of Chamber Music.

Established in 2013, we are a boutique festival presenting the best in Chamber Music performed by the finest of musicians from Ireland and around the world.

What makes us rather special and sets us apart from most chamber music festivals is that our fifteen or so musicians stay in Westport for a week to work on their chosen pieces, eating meals together, rehearsing in and around the town, also in some of our patron's lovely homes. This encourages deep musical bonds and friendships that go beyond the performances we hear at the end of the week; It also creates a musical intimacy and allows for real spontaneity to occur on stage, after having spent a relaxed and quality time together.

Our 2025 artists can be viewed below. Karen Cox, took some excellent photos of our 2024 festival you can view here.

Our 2025 festival will take place from Thursday the 11th to Sunday the 14th of September. You can view the full programme here.
