The Zenith Chamber Music Festival is back once again. The annual concert series in Des Moines highlights “national and international guest artists as well as local artists.”
The festival takes place June 4th through June 8th at various locations in Des Moines and Urbandale. The Zenith Chamber Music Festival is unique in that it is a free community event. The mission and goals of the festival include “building strong community ties through creative partnerships with local and regional businesses” and “celebrating the arts by bringing world-renowned artists to the area to perform for and alongside local artists.”
Drake University is a principal partner for the Zenith Chamber Music Festival by providing facilities and rehearsal spaces.
