Join the Sydney Chamber Music Festivals Exhibition & Presentation!

Throughout the festival weekend, Blade Strings will host a boutique exhibition of fine instruments and bows, offering festival audiences the rare chance to explore high-quality craftsmanship up close. Musicians are warmly invited to have their own instruments assessed by Sam Blade during the exhibition.

A special highlight of the weekend will be the Sunday presentation from 11:00am to 12:00pm, where master luthier Sam Blade will speak on violin making, history, craftsmanship, and sound. A professional musician will demonstrate a selection of exceptional instruments, and we are working on the exciting possibility of including a truly remarkable violin — to be confirmed closer to the date.

This is a unique opportunity for musicians, students, families, and music lovers to discover the artistry behind the instruments that shape our chamber music tradition.
