Now in our 54th season, Chamber Music Northwest (CMNW) is best known for our
Summer Festival — an annual, five-week festival that brings the finest musicians in the
chamber music world to Portland for concerts and music education programs. Over the
course of the year, we also present concerts and education programs, and utilize the

musicians who come to perform for a number of education residency activities in schools,
for the general community, and free community concerts. While our concert audiences
are mostly adults and seniors, we are focused on several initiatives that serve young peo-
ple. In summer 2022 we launched the Young Artists Institute, a three-week resident camp
for music students ages 14-18. Students study with outstanding professional faculty, are
coached in solo and ensemble playing, and perform both formal programs in concert
halls as well as pop-up performances throughout the community.
