The 12th Austin Chamber Music Festival is this summer's ultimate getaway! It promises to enhance ACMC's reputation as one of the preeminent classical festivals, with a collection of the world's foremost artists-including the finest ensembles from across the globe performing music that runs the gamut from classic to cutting-edge — the Borromeo String Quartet, described by the Boston Globe as "simply the best there is on this planet," the Gryphon Trio, hailed as impressive "mavericks" in their field, and a dazzling Opening Gala with Austin's own Peter Bay.
