After a well deserved break over the summer and early autumn months, it's time to start gearing up for Cascade Peaks ChamberFest 2027! Plans are well underway for an even more exciting 4th year of operation, and announcements about faculty guest artists and program registration launches will be made soon, so keep an eye on this space! In the meantime, here's a taste of CPCF 2026 in pictures - we had the best weather yet at RockRidge this past year so it was a dream for us shutterbugs. Did you take a favourite shot during CPCF this past year? If so, feel free to post it in the comment section 😀

Cascade Peaks photo dump! Here's a random variety of pix from our past few days here at RockRidge Canyon. This place is ridiculously photogenic, which makes all the hard work by our artists that's taking place here even that more impressive - their ability to concentrate, learn, and perform in a setting that seems purpose built to distract is nothing short of amazing. Two concerts now under our belt with several more to come throughout the weekend - how great is that? Pretty great...

For the first time this year, all the Emerging Artist participants and the participants of the inaugural Chamber Vocal Ensemble met together to be greeted by our guest artist faculty who will be mentoring them in the coming week here at Cascade Peaks. The buzz was palpable as each introduced themselves, with musicians coming from all over the globe. The weather is sunny and warm this year, and so are our spirits!

And so it begins! 17 of the 24 talented young musicians who are participating in this year's Emerging Artists Program at Cascade Peaks ChamberFest 2026 arrived at the Vancouver International Airport from all across the globe on Sunday morning to be shuttled up to RockRidge Canyon resort. These rising young stars will be presenting their own concerts this coming Friday at 5 pm, Saturday at 11 am, and Sunday at 1 pm - the concert on Friday featuring solo repertoire, and the other two concerts featuring chamber music. These concerts are free and open to the general public, so come and witness the future of chamber music in person this weekend!
