Australian String Quartet with guest artists Stefanie Farrands and Timo-Veikko Valve

The stunning surroundings of Victoria’s Southern Grampians set a magical scene for the exploration and celebration of the intimate world of chamber music. In 2023 we are joined by incredible guest artists Stefanie Farrands (viola) and Timo-Veikko Valve (cello), as we illuminate some of the greatest music of today and the past.

With intimate concerts in the charming Mt Sturgeon Woolshed and Myers’ Library, and the warm hospitality of the iconic Royal Mail Hotel, tickets to this festival are in high demand.

Dunkeld is a truly magical regional environment on the incredible lands of the Djab Wurrung people of the Southern Grampians, which lends a rare quality to this highly sought-after highlight of our annual calendar.
