Chamber Fest @ CSUN

The Department of Music at the Mike Curb College of Arts, Media, and Communication presents Chamber Fest @ CSUN, a four-day festival that celebrates and explores the art of chamber music and will be the first of its kind for the college. The festival’s events are comprised of a series of performances, masterclasses and lectures offered by a group of celebrated international chamber musicians alongside renowned local professionals from Southern California.

The program of Chamber Fest @ CSUN, with some of the repertoire’s greatest masterworks at its heart, is designed to provide not only a world class concert experience for our audience but also learning experience for our students. New and exciting works by our own CSUN composition faculty will also be featured on the festival’s programs.
