West Cork Chamber Music Festival Programme

Immerse yourself in our world-class 2026 Chamber Music Festival where concerts, conversations, and masterclasses will be staged from morning to night in stunning settings from Bantry House to the West Cork islands

Across the 10-day celebration of chamber music – at a festival now in its 31st year – renowned and emerging international and Irish musicians perform in intimate and characterful settings against the backdrop of Bantry and the Wild Atlantic Way. Days begin with relaxed coffee concerts and open rehearsals, and end with extraordinary Bantry House concerts, and music by candlelight. Children’s concerts, fringe events, and a young musicians’ series bring exceptional classical music and opportunities to audiences of every age.
