Ottawa Chamberfest is one of the world’s leading chamber music festivals, bringing together artists from across Canada and around the globe for 11 days of unforgettable live music. But if you’re 30 or under and new to Chamberfest, you might be wondering: where do I start?
That’s exactly why we introduced the Curiosity Pass this year.
What is the Curiosity Pass?
The Curiosity Pass is a special festival pass designed for young audiences aged 13–30. For just $75, Curiosity Pass holders can attend all General Admission concerts throughout Chamberfest 2026, running July 23 to August 2. Instead of choosing just one concert, you can explore the festival, discover new artists, and experience as much music as you like.
Why “Curiosity”?
Some of the best festival experiences happen when you take a chance on something unexpected. Maybe you’ll come for a pianist you’ve heard before and stay for a late-night performance you’ve never considered. Maybe you’ll discover a new favourite instrument, ensemble, or artist. Maybe you’ll find that chamber music is much broader, more adventurous, and more exciting than you imagined. The Curiosity Pass is built for exploration throughout Chamberfest.
A Festival Pass That Actually Pays for Itself
The value is simple. Attend just a few concerts and you’ve already received more than the cost of the pass in ticket value. Want to spend an afternoon listening to emerging artists? Go for it. Interested in an evening concert with internationally acclaimed performers? You’re covered. Want to attend multiple events throughout the week? The Curiosity Pass makes it easy.
Not Just for Classical Music Fans
Chamberfest welcomes curious listeners of all backgrounds. Whether you’re a music student, a lifelong concertgoer, someone who loves discovering new cultural experiences, or simply looking for something different to do this summer, the festival offers a wide range of performances and artists to explore. No expertise required – just curiosity!
Make This Your Summer of Discovery
The Curiosity Pass is available to anyone aged 13–30 and provides access to all General Admission concerts during Chamberfest 2026. One pass. 11 days. Countless musical discoveries.
