"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything."
Plato
Dutch Chamber Fest returns in 2026 — in a new form.
This is a tussenjaar: a deliberate space between editions to reconsider, rebuild, and try something different. Not less — different. The heart of the festival stays intact: the encounter between gifted musicians, exceptional performers, and the concentrated intensity of live performance.
Whether you are a performer, a listener, or a long-time friend of the festival: you belong here.
A musical journey from elegance and emotional distance into something darker and more fragile. Ravel, Weill, de Falla, Poulenc — eight performers, one story, one evening.
Live performances by selected musicians — an intimate concert experience at Musis Sacrum, Arnhem.
La Dame — a musical journey through Ravel, Weill, de Falla, Villa-Lobos, Poulenc and more.
Music and narrative — the programme is concept-led, weaving together performance and story.
30 August 2026 · 15:00 — Musis Sacrum, Arnhem. Tickets via Weeztix.
Dutch Chamber Fest 2026 takes a different path. In this tussenjaar, the festival turns inward — a concentrated single-day concert, an intimate encounter with music at its most human.
Come for the music. Stay for the moment.
