About the Festival
Founded in 2022 by violinist Avital Mazor and Blairsville native Sarah Marshall, the Blairsville Chamber Music Festival brings the timeless beauty of classical music to the heart of Blairsville, PA. Inspired by the town's captivating beauty and unique character, the group set out to share their passion for chamber music with the community.
Musicians who visited to perform at the festival were charmed by Blairsville's welcoming spirit and picturesque surroundings. Their enthusiasm and desire to return became a hallmark of the festival's success.
Since its debut, the festival has become a highlight of Blairsville's cultural calendar, hosting an annual summer festival and concerts throughout the year. With enthusiastic support from the community, the festival continues to inspire connection, celebrate artistry, and shine a spotlight on this special place.
As part of our mission to make classical music accessible to everyone, our festival offers a free or pay-what-you-can option, ensuring that music lovers of all backgrounds can experience the joy of live performance.
Join us as we celebrate the joy of chamber music and the vibrant spirit of Blairsville!
