CSMF is a world-class chamber musician festival with outstanding local musicians performing incredibly varied programs in unusual venues throughout Winston-Salem that might just surprise you. The festival begins Friday, August 10, at 7:30pm with an out-of- this-world brass ensemble performing live in Salem Square for FREE!

This year, through August 25, the mix of music and musicians is just as eclectic and exciting as ever. There’ll be a burning jazz band Tribute to Hoagy Carmichael, an Evening of Cowboy Songs of America's Wild West, and a Musical Feast at Old Salem Visitor Center. Claude Debussy turns 150 at the Kuhn Studio Gallery, and this year at Krankies Coffee downtown, Carolina Summer takes you from Panpipes to Paquito (D'Rivera).
