If you love chamber music then you should attend the Bangalow Music Festival from Friday 15 to Sunday 17 August.

Throughout the history of classical music, we have witnessed glorious couples: JS Bach and Anna Magdalena; Robert and Clara Schumann; and Gustav and Alma Mahler. To celebrate the brilliance of partnerships, this year's festival presents the magnificence of couples: Sivan Silver and Gil Garburg, and Jack Lieback and Victoria Sayles. It takes a look at the relationships between works like Brahms' Violin Concerto and Mahler's Adagietto; two remarkable Russians Mussorgsky and Rimsky-Korsakov; and two tremendous Jewish composers Schoenberg and Mendelsohn's works for double string ensembles. At the festival, you will witness the power of partnerships and you are invited to come and celebrate the brilliance of partnerships featuring Australia's finest musicians in the picturesque village of Bangalow.

Other featured musical guests include Sarah-Grace Williams (conductor), Lisa Gasteen (soprano), Emma Sholl (flute), White Halo Quartet, Southern Cross Soloists, Trichotomy, Leigh Carriage (voice), Sophie Rowell (violin and Fellowship Quartet). There are nine festival concerts: concerts one to eight will be held at A & I Hall, Station Street, Bangalow and concert nine will be held at St Kevin's Church, Deacon Street, Bangalow.
