The Oracle Piano Society is ushering in the new year with the return of the Oracle Chamber Music Festival, a multi‑day celebration of composition, performance, and nonprofit arts leadership. The festival opens on Saturday, Jan. 3, with a 3 p.m. faculty concert at the Oracle Center for the Arts, located at 700 E. Kingston St. in Oracle.
This year’s opening performance features the acclaimed Oracle Piano Quartet alongside internationally recognized guest artists Aldo López‑Gavilán and his brother, Ilmar Gavilán. Known for their dynamic musicianship and cross‑cultural artistry, the Gavilán brothers bring an added layer of excitement to the festival’s kickoff event.
The festival concludes on Jan. 6 with a special concert showcasing its student participants in live performance — a highlight that reflects the festival’s commitment to nurturing emerging talent.
Tickets for the opening concert are $35, with free admission for students. For more information, visit oraclepianosociety.org, email bridgetoc@oraclepianosociety.org, or call 623‑295‑9677.
