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.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“I fear I agree with your friend in not liking all sermons. Some of them, one has to confess, are rubbish: but then I release my attention from the preacher, and go ahead in any line of thought he may have started: and his after-eloquence acts as a kind of accompaniment—like music while one is reading poetry, which often, to me, adds to the effect.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“There was never yet such a storm but it was Æolian music to a healthy and innocent ear.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The dignity of art probably appears most eminently with music since it does not have any material that needs to be discounted. Music is all form and content and elevates and ennobles everything that it expresses.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
