The sounds soul energy emotion
of Rhode Island

Join us for our 37th season! During the two-week festival we bring renowned musicians together with young, rising artists to perform six exciting concerts in Edwards Auditorium at the University of Rhode Island.

“We are first time attendees. The quality of the musicians was amazing as was the variety of the programs. Setting the concert in a beautiful campus added to the experience.”

– Julia Fielding MD, Dallas, TX

“World class chamber music in Little Rhody!”

– Lawrence Mandel, North Kingstown, RI

“For me, KCMF provides the best concert-going experience possible, surrounded by other devotees of chamber music who listen to every note with rapt attention…. People come as they are to revel in the magnificence of the artistry and music.”

– Rosita Hopper, Rumford RI

“The passion of the performers makes the music come alive. We really liked the “dueling”cellists :)”

– Timothy Rancourt, Wakefield RI

“Joy and Excitement”

– Joan Crothers, Wakefield RI

“Inspiring and uplifting”

– Kathleen Wosencroft, Kingston RI

“KCMF blends traditional and contemporary chamber music with a very special sense of “extended family intimacy.” Attending each year is as if we’re all having a reunion of heart, mind, and soul; very precious and life sustaining!”

– Michael Tessman, Wakefield RI

“It feels like a family reunion.”

– Sonia Reines, Valley Cottage, NY

“The musicians are excellent, yet the concerts feel nicely relaxed.”

– Karen, Asheville NC

“The value to me of the Kingston Chamber Music Festival is the ability to close out the world and truly be transported to a place of inner peace, tranquility and sensibility.”

– Deborah Harder, Wakefield RI

“World class music in a wonderful venue- My six year old granddaughter was mesmerized by the spirit of chamber music.”

– David Klann, Narragansett RI

“The part that I will remember the most is Jennifer (Grimm, flutist) talking about her experience growing up not seeing anyone who looks like her in the role models presented. Having that representation is so incredibly important, and quite often it is overlooked.”

– 2024 URI Summer Music Academy camp student
