The west coast of Vancouver Island is perhaps one of the most rugged, wild and sensual places on earth. It provides a backdrop of raw beauty where the exploration of oneself and of the natural world releases the most intimate forms of self expression. The CoralWind Chamber Music Festival was conceived as a musical experience meant to be in complete harmony with, and as a complement to its natural surroundings. Virtuosic performances by leading musicians from around the globe will transport the listener to places in the heart and mind that connect the product of the human spirit to the wonders of nature.

In this, its inaugural year, Festival Artistic Director, pianist Patricia Hoy has invited the renowned Principal Concertmaster of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra Richard Roberts, celebrated German American cellist Alexander Suleiman, Associate Principal violist of the San Francisco Symphony David Gaudry, American clarinettist Sean Osborn and emerging star Nikki Chooi to perform in four recitals of astonishing breadth. We invite you to join us on this incredible musical journey.
