Music
Although the concerts are primarily traditional classical music, the scope has evolved to include music by pop and jazz composers and also music from non-European countries. The concerts of a typical day would have several different types of music. For Ottawa Chamberfest 2011, performances are divided into several Concert Series.
- Chamber Chat - Lecture series.
- Music at Noon - Music at lunch.
- New Music Now - Show casing new and emerging artists.
- Meet the Artist - Meet several performers up close and personal.
- Bring the Kids - Free shows for children. Interactive and fun.
- 3PM Series - Afternoon shows
- The Siskind Concerts - Nightly shows dedicated to Jacob Siskind, music critic and arts patron.
- Market Soirées - Evening Shows with a focus on an intimate musical experience.
- Alfresco Concerts and Guerilla Gigs - Free outdoor concerts at Rideau Hall and other undisclosed locations.
- Late Night at the Kildare - Hosted by Saint Brigid's Church (Ottawa), a nightly series featuring a diverse set of performers.
- Festival Gala Series - 3 high profile performances at Dominion-Chalmers United Church.

Yankee Doodle, dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.”
