Anchorage Chamber Music Festival Reveals 11th Season Lineup

The season runs July 5 – 15, 2023.

By: May. 26, 2023

Anchorage Chamber Music Festival (ACMF) has announced its 11th Season, to be held July 5 – 15, 2023 in Anchorage, AK. 

The Festival’s 11th Season will convene professional musicians from all corners of the world to perform exceptional concerts across Anchorage and teach a rigorous week-long Chamber Intensive course for aspiring young musicians. 

Concert highlights will include a festival opening concert at the Anchorage Museum—featuring music by northern composers—and two concerts at UAA's Recital Hall. ACMF will also continue its decade-long tradition of performing concerts in homes across Anchorage, allowing audiences to experience the musicians' artistry up close in the living rooms of its community members. All concerts are open to the public.

 

ACMF’s Chamber Intensive will welcome 35 young musicians—most from Anchorage and several out-of-state—who will participate in coaching sessions, workshops, and masterclasses with the Festival’s guest artists. Through focused collaboration with their peers, students will have an opportunity to develop their artistry, all while honing their teamwork and leadership skills. Violinist and Fairbanks-native Zachary Spontak will return as Education Director for the Chamber Intensive.

 

ACMF is the vision of Artistic Director, violinist, and Anchorage-native Christine Harada Li, who co-founded the festival alongside cellist and Artistic Director Nathaniel Pierce: “We are thrilled to be back for our 11th Season! We look forward to this concentrated time every summer where we celebrate chamber music with our students, faculty, guest artists, and the Anchorage community. It is a powerful, inspiring time, where new friendships are formed and old relationships nurtured, all through music.”

 

Guest artists and faculty will include Nathan Chan (Seattle Symphony), Min-Jeong Koh (Cecilia String Quartet / The Royal Conservatory, Toronto), Elisabeth Kufferath (Tetzlaff String Quartet / Hochschule für Musik, Hannover, Germany), Haerim Elizabeth Lee (Texas Christian University), David Fung (University of British Columbia), Henry Kramer (Columbus State University), Tanner Menees, SoHui Yun, Elizabeth Dickenson, and Ella Sharpe.
