Welcome to the 37th season of the Telluride Chamber Music Festival
August 12-21, 2010

The Telluride Chamber Music Festival has been bringing music to Telluride since 1973.  This year we continue to bring you chamber music as it was originally intended, up close and personal! Our festival creates a spontaneous connection between audience and musicians that lifts the human spirit.

You are invited to take a break from your busy life and enjoy one of life's gentler pleasures by hearing chamber music at its best.  Our Artistic Director, Roy Malan, is planning another great festival for our enjoyment. Roy is the concertmaster with the San Francisco Ballet.

SPECIAL EVENTS

Thursday, August 12 at 5pm -  Free Concert and Picnic in Town Park

Join us in the park for a casual evening of chamber music to kick off the season. Bring your own picnic for a special evening of music. Picnic from 5:00 PM and the concert begins about 6:00 PM.

Friday, August 20 at 11:00 AM – Free Children’s Concert

A special mid day event planned especially for our younger set (from pre-school through high school). Adults only admitted when accompanied by a child.  Meet the musicians, see the instruments and learn more about music. Ice cream served after the concert.
