Banff Centre International String Quartet Festival Coming Soon - September 2 to 5, 2021
The Banff Centre International String Quartet Festival is once again proud to present a specially curated collection of world-class chamber music and international artists!
We are thrilled to be sharing an incredible line-up of string quartets and classical musicians from our home in the Rocky Mountains to audiences throughout Canada and around the world.

It is a pleasure to share the details for the 2021 Festival which includes forty exceptional musicians in concert, an engaging series of documentary films and conversations, culminating in an all-star festival chamber orchestra filmed on Banff Centre's beautiful campus.
The all-star festival orchestra will be the first group of artists to return to Banff Centre as we all recover from the Covid-19 pandemic.
Barry Shiffman, Director of the Banff International String Quartet Festival
The 2021 Virtual Festival will feature concerts with Viano Quartet with pianist Marc-André Hamelin, Callisto Quartet with cellist Desmond Hoebig, Dalí Quartet, Kelemen Quartet, and more!
