About

Bonjour mes amis,

Ooh la la!

Welcome to France, Albury Style.

From 6–8 November 2026, the Albury Chamber Music Festival invites you to step into a world of French elegance, artistry and enchantment. Inspired by the salons of Paris, the cafés of Montmartre and the rich creative spirit of France, this year’s festival promises a weekend of music, conversation, friendship and joie de vivre.

It is with enormous pleasure that we present our 2026 festival season. For one magical weekend, Albury will be transformed into a little corner of France, where musicians, audiences and friends gather to celebrate beauty, creativity and the simple pleasure of sharing exceptional music together.

Imagine wandering between elegant gardens, historic buildings and candlelit spaces. Picture yourself enjoying music inspired by Paris, sipping a glass of bubbles with friends, and discovering artists whose performances will delight, surprise and move you. Whether you are a long-time festival patron or joining us for the first time, we invite you to immerse yourself in a uniquely French celebration of music and hospitality.

Your all-inclusive Festival Pass grants access to eleven concerts and events across this immersive three-day celebration, set within four Paris-inspired venues and gardens: the beautiful deco heritage-listed Regent Cinema, our own elegant jewel-box Adamshurst Ballroom, the soaring Gothic beauty of St Matthew’s Church (almost Notre-Dame!), and the exclusive Albury Club.

The experience culminates in the sumptuous Bleu Blanc Rouge Gala Ball at the Albury Club: a magnificent three-course evening of French-inspired dining, complete with a complimentary glass of bubbles on arrival, sparkling company and stylish cabaret entertainment.

All of this is included in the one pass.

Echoing the Parisian salons of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, our festival is designed as a place where music and conversation meet. It is a place to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, meet the artists and share in the unique atmosphere that has become a hallmark of the Albury Chamber Music Festival.

We hope you will be enchanted by our extraordinary musicians, inspired by our beautiful venues and delighted by the many surprises that await throughout the weekend.

And if you come on your own, no worries — you’ll likely leave Albury with a few new musical friends.

À bientôt. We look forward to welcoming you to France, Albury Style.
