The 10th Annual Easton Chamber Music Festival (ECMF) will return June 26–28, 2026, offering three free concerts that celebrate the richness and diversity of chamber music.
Founded to bring high-quality chamber music to the community, the festival presents both beloved classical masterworks and music by women composers, composers of color, and rarely performed composers. All concerts will take place at Covenant Congregational Church, 204 Center Street, Easton.

Both concerts begin at 7:30 p.m., with pre-concert talks at 7:15 p.m.
In addition to the faculty performances, the festival serves as an intensive educational experience for musicians of all ages. This year, more than 40 participants from communities throughout Massachusetts and beyond will take part in the program.&nbsp;Reflecting the festival’s inclusive mission, participants span nearly eight decades in age, creating a uniquely intergenerational musical experience.
The festival will conclude with the Student Ensemble Showcase Concert on Sunday, June 28, at 5:00 p.m. The performance will feature festival participants who have spent the weekend rehearsing and receiving coaching from ECMF faculty artists.
All concerts are free and open to the public.
The Easton Chamber Music Festival is supported in part by grants and contributions from the Easton Cultural Council, Mansfield Cultural Council, Associated Chamber Music Players, Easton Lions Club, Covenant Congregational Church, Ames Free Library, and the generous support of local community members.
