Founded in 1970, The Swannanoa Chamber Music Festival is the premier chamber music festival of the Carolinas. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, the Haywood County Arts Council (HCAC) is proud to sponsor another season of world-class chamber music in Haywood County. All five performances will take place at 7:30 p.m. at the HART Performing Arts Center on Pigeon Street on the evenings of June 26, and July 3, 10, 17, and 24.
Michael Lodico, Vice President of the HCAC Board of Directors and Chair of the Swannanoa Chamber Music Festival Committee, praises the series, saying, “We are so fortunate to serve as a host site for this wonderful concert series. Inessa Zaretsky assembles incredible performers to entertain and inspire, and this year we are especially lucky to host Itamar Zorman, joint winner of the 2011 International Tchaikovsky Competition.”
Tickets are available now through the Haywood County Arts Council office by calling 828-452-0593 or visiting 86 N. Main Street, Waynesville.

Student Ticket: Free to individuals under 25
The Swannanoa Chamber Music Festival is unique among classical music festivals for its approach to performance, favoring close, intimate interaction between listener and performer. Every summer, groups of world-class musicians travel from all corners of the globe to western North Carolina in order to perform, collaborate, and practice their craft at the Swannanoa Chamber Music Festival.
