Support

The Ferrara Chamber Music Festival is made possible by the generosity of family, colleagues, and friends who volunteer their time and financial support to keep this unique festival running. Your support and contributions are deeply appreciated and needed to keep the festival alive and provide the tidewater area of Virginia with high quality chamber music performed by young artists from all around the world. Please join the FCMF family today and help keep the chamber music genre thriving.

A financial contribution is not the only way to give support to the Festival. Offering to be a host family for guest teaching artists, providing a car for transportation throughout the week, or even just providing a dinner for the young participating artists are all great ways to give support. We are open to all forms of support, please contact the Artistic Director, Christopher Ferrara, if you have an idea or way to assist the festival.
