Westport Festival of Chamber Music CLG

Westport Festival of Chamber Music Company Limited By Guarantee is a boutique, not-for-profit organisation that has been curating world-class chamber music experiences since 2013. Each September the festival brings together around fifteen of the finest musicians from Ireland and abroad for an intensive, week-long residency in the picturesque town of Westport. During this time the artists live, eat and rehearse together - often in the welcoming homes of local patrons - forging deep musical bonds that translate into intimate, spontaneous performances for audiences.

The festival's core offering is a carefully programmed series of concerts that showcase a diverse roster of soloists, ensembles and emerging talent, as highlighted by past participants such as violinist Pablo Hernán Benedi, the Modigliani Quartet and pianist Daria van den Bercken. In addition to the performances, Westport Festival provides ticketing, media coverage and opportunities for supporters to engage through donations, newsletters and community-based hospitality options like "Stay in Westport" and "Eat in Westport". The 2026 edition runs from 10 - 13 September, promising another memorable celebration of chamber music in the heart of the West of Ireland.
