Oberon Chamber Music Festival

Tickets are now on sale for the fourth edition of the Oberon Chamber Music Festival this November, which brings leading Australian classical musicians to Oberon for a weekend of concerts at the Malachi and other venues in the district.

This year we have six concerts, with an all-star lineup of musicians joining us. We’re delighted to welcome back superstar mezzo-soprano Ashlyn Tymms, and to welcome award-winning Australian guitarist Karin Schaupp to the festival for the first time. French harpist Louisic Dulbecco, Principal Harp of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, also returns. Making their festival debuts are some of Australia’s most sought-after string players: Julian Smiles (cello), Dimity Hall (violin) and James Wannan (viola). We also welcome back cellist Paul Ghica, and are thrilled to introduce leading pianist Ying Ho to the festival.​

Chamber music is about listening… to the musicians around you, to the space you’re in, and to what is happening in the moment. That close connection between performers and audience is what makes chamber music so special, and it’s at the heart of this festival. The concerts take place across three gorgeous Oberon venues: Malachi Gilmore Hall, St Barnabas church, and the stone chapel of Mayfield Garden. Each space brings something different to the music, and together they make for a very special weekend. I hope you’ll join us, take your time, and enjoy some great music in a beautiful part of the world.

The 2026 Festival Pass will give you access to all six ticketed concerts at a discount of 5%. You have a choice of great seats for the four Malachi concerts, get access to the concerts at Mayfield Garden chapel and St Barnabas church, and join the Festival Saturday Lunch gathering at the old Bank garden.
