June 18 – July 26
On the 250th anniversary of the United States, the 2026 Summer Festival focuses on the composers who have shaped the American classical voice. Every festival program includes a work meaningfully connected to the United States, whether it has been composed in America, by an American, or both. Join Seattle Chamber Music Society from June 18 to July 26 and experience world-class chamber music across concert halls, islands, parks, neighborhoods, and beyond.
Summer Festival concert locations include: Nordstrom Recital Hall (July 7, 9, 12), Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue (July 15, 17), Town Hall Seattle (July 19, 21, 24, 26), Vashon Center for the Arts (July 13), and Bainbridge Performing Arts (July 14).
