Houston Music Festival was founded in 2024 to reimagine chamber music for the 21st century. We celebrate the city's vibrant artistic community, showcasing emerging musical talent through innovative collaborations across creative mediums. Centered around inclusivity and community, we present immersive concert experiences that reflect the diversity of our cultural landscape.
We perform everything from Brahms piano trios and art songs to jazz-infused contemporary classical works and even Beyoncé covers.
Our performances are driven by dynamic collaborations with artists from other disciplines. We believe true creative partnerships are the key to sustaining a thriving artistic community.
