The Rome Chamber Music Festival is an annual music event which presents five distinct concert programs over a five day period in June. Concerts feature both classical masterworks and contemporary pieces performed by world-renowned musicians. The Festival has played to full houses of chamber music enthusiasts from around the world and has received brilliant reviews every year since it began in 2003. The Festival was founded by the esteemed American violinist Robert McDuffie.
In 2012, the festival will make its debut at the prestigious Palazzo Barberini, a 17th century Palazzo, designed by the great Baroque artists Maderno, Borromini and Bernini, located on the Quirinal Hill, the tallest of Rome's famed seven hills.
