The Bendigo Chamber Music Festival has announced its 2023 season, with an ardent lineup in a return to its home venues of The Capital Theatre, Forest Street Uniting Church and the Bendigo Art Gallery after the dazzling success of its 2022 season.

Welcoming its fourth program as a “festival of celebration, new partnerships and the welcoming back of dear friends”, co-directors Chris Howlett and Howard Penny have also introduced a new partnership with the Young Classical Artists Trust in London, where rising performers, pianist Ariel Lanyi and clarinettist Jonathan Leibovitz, will travel from Europe to Bendigo exclusively for the season.The Festival also hosts the world premiere of two new Australian works: a piano quartet by Harry Sdraulig and a solo piano work by Justin Williams, to be performed by Daniel de Borah. The Artamidae Quartet return as well, as a part of the Festival’s ongoing partnership with the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM), before their performance in the Royal Albert Hall’s ANAM Quartetthaus in London.
