Dear Chamber Music Athens friends,
Chamber Music Athens is returning for the full festival between May 10-19, 2026!
We are thrilled to announce our GUEST ARTISTS:
Ying String Quartet
Ieva Jokubaviciute, pianist
Ilona Knopfler, jazz vocalist
Gabriela Lena Frank, featured composer, online masterclass
Please visit our CONCERTS page to learn more about this year’s events, including free and ticketed performances. We are particularly excited to be able to present a special concert for Athens Clarke-County public schools on May 14, 2026 with transportation provided by the county. Other concerts will take place for the first time in the Atrium at the State Botanical Garden, and we look forward to returning to the UGA Performing Arts Center, the historic UGA Chapel, the Georgia Museum of Art, and to collaborate with Concerts@First in Atlanta!
Among many exciting initiatives this season, we are excited to launch a new ALUMNI PROGRAM. CMA Academy is a crucial part of the festival, and we are elated to welcome back violist Joy Hsieh and violinist Ian Jones who have been a part of CMA since its beginning in 2019, as well as pianist Jieun Lee, alumna of 2022 who contributed so much to the HHSOM community.
SEE YOU IN MAY!
