Join us for Chamber Music Churchtown’s 2026 Season, August 29 – September 6, in the extraordinary Round Barn at Churchtown Dairy.

Each summer, when the cows move to pasture, the barn is transformed into a luminous chamber music hall—an experience unlike any other. We are proud to be the only music festival in the world set on a working dairy farm, where music, landscape, and community come together in a truly singular way. This season expands to five concerts, welcoming both returning artists and exciting new musicians for programs of exceptional chamber music.

Program and ticket information are now available. Free student admission available.
