We’re thrilled to announce the programming for the 2026 Pikes Falls Chamber Music Festival, taking place August 18–22 in beautiful Southern Vermont!
This summer’s festival will feature daily open rehearsals, evening chamber music concerts at the Jamaica Town Hall, a family event at the Jamaica Community Library, and our beloved garden picnic concert. As always, PFCM brings together outstanding musicians for a week of music-making, creativity, and community in the heart of southern Vermont. Without further ado, here's the 2026 Schedule! Now that we have some amazing concerts planned, it's time for me to put on my fundraising hat... Thanks to your support, we've already raised about 25% of our budget for 2026! We need your help to raise the remaining $15,000 for this year's festival. As always, all events are free! I suppose this could go without saying, but I’m going to say it anyway: PFCM is a child of mine. What started as a small daydream in 2012 has lasted through so much change. Musicians have gotten married, had (human) kids, lived through a pandemic, and navigated a rapidly changing world. Through all of it, the Pikes Falls Chamber Music Festival and Southern Vermont have remained a bright spot in our lives. Every summer, no matter what happened in the year prior, I’m reminded how rare and meaningful it is to create spaces where artists and audiences can connect so directly — where we all experience live chamber music as a personal reflection, and music becomes part of daily life in the community. I feel incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped make this festival possible over the years, and I’m excited to continue building something joyful, open-hearted, and artistically vibrant... together. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps ensure that the Pikes Falls Chamber Music Festival continues to bring people and community together through music. Please Donate to PFCM today! With gratitude, Susanna  Dear Friends of Pikes Falls,
