The Derby City Chamber Music Festival, led by Artistic Director Nicholas Finch, returns for its fifth season this May with three concerts presented at Second Presbyterian Church (3701 Old Brownsboro Rd.) on May 17, 19, and 21, 2026.

All performances are free to attend, with a suggested donation of $40 for adults and $10 for students. Audiences are encouraged to reserve seats in advance at <a href="https://derbycitychamberfest.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">derbycitychamberfest.org</a>.

The 2026 festival brings together an international roster of acclaimed artists alongside leading musicians from Louisville. Guest artists include Avery Fisher Grant-winning violinist Giora Schmidt, pianist Adam Golka, violinist Stephen Miahky of the Blair Quartet, violist Andrew Gonzales of the Jasper String Quartet, and cellist Michael Nicolas of Brooklyn Rider, along with performers from the Louisville Orchestra and the broader regional music community.

The Derby City Chamber Music Festival continues its mission to present chamber music in an accessible and community-centered format, bringing together artists from across the country to perform alongside musicians from Louisville.

“Our goal is to bring together artists and audiences in a shared experience of discovery,” says Nicholas Finch, Artistic Director. “These programs reflect both the depth of the chamber music repertoire and the collaborative spirit that defines the festival.”
