Chamber Music Northwest will host its 56th annual summer festival from June 25 to July 19 at concert venues throughout Portland, Oregon. Themed CONFLUENCE: Our Shared Voices, the 2026 festival will present music to transcend cultural, geographical, and political borders and celebrate a range of musical traditions that have shaped chamber music today. CMNW will host more than 70 of the world and region's finest chamber musicians—from piano and voice to winds and strings—as they converge on Portland to bring dozens of classic, new, beloved, and rarely performed masterpieces of boundless variety to life.

In addition to presenting concerts in large halls, CMNW offers a new music series in smaller venues and noontime Protégé Spotlight Recitals, as well as free outdoor community concerts, educational opportunities, and masterclasses. Early in the festival, CMNW will once again host the Young Artist Institute (launched in 2022) an intensive education program for 16 talented string players from around the world, ages 14–18. These young musicians will be featured in free showcases and perform throughout the community.

From Artistic Directors Gloria Chien and Soovin Kim: “Music has the ability to connect us beyond words, labels, and borders, inviting us to celebrate both our differences and our common ground. Confluence: Our Shared Voices is a tribute to music's power to unite and to the vibrant cultural heritages that continue to inspire the music we love.”
