25.01.2022 Postponed to 2021!ANNOUNCEMENT Due to the restrictions in place due to COVID-19 our event Orange Chamber Music Festival 2020 will be postponed to April 8-11, 2021. The artists, featured ensembles and programs will be greater and more events will take place in various venues in Orange and surrounding towns. The Artists engaged for the 2020 Festival are committed to create audio-visual material to share with our new audience, until a Program can be delivered in full, in 2021. ...With your support, these materials will be created in Orange with the highest quality in recording and will be available to all our ticket holders and sponsors, as a way to connect with you and to keep our engagement for 2021. This is a very difficult time for all artists around Australia, and we would greatly appreciate your support, and hope to see you in 2021. We take this opportunity to thank our supporters and sponsors: The Australian Cultural Fund, Orange Regional Conservatorium, Orange Regional Museum, Quest Orange, Swinging Bridge Wines, The Peisley St Gallery, and many others. After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is Music Aldous Huxley.
