Our 2026-2027 Season
Welcome to Encore: A Season of Returning Favorites. In this series, Chamber Music on the Fox is celebrating the joy of reunions, when audiences and artists come together with the special memories of past performances, alongside the anticipation of something new.
In the past thirteen years, Chamber Music on the Fox has welcomed many extraordinary ensembles that have left a lasting impression. In the upcoming months, we will welcome back groups that have inspired and moved us in past appearances. Their return gives us the chance to revisit the artistry, skill, and emotive power that our audiences have come to know and love from them all.
