NOLA Chamber Fest is an annual chamber music festival and competition presented collaboratively by Lyrica Baroque, the New Orleans Friends of Music and the University of New Orleans. The festival aims to inspire and motivate musicians through the unique experience of tight-knit collaboration and artistic independence that only chamber music can offer. NCF offers aspiring musicians access, opportunity, and exposure to perform, compete, and learn alongside their peers.

Our five-day festival includes performances by world-renowned chamber ensembles, a national chamber music competition, masterclasses, and Creativity Day for local musicians.
