Mimir Chamber Music Festival

The Mimir Chamber Music Festival proudly celebrates its milestone 20th anniversary season in 2017. Since its launch in 1998, our annual festival has enjoyed a growing audience of fans from throughout the Southwest. Mimir has presented over 100 exceptional concerts by our renowned Mimir Artists, and we have mentored some 250 talented young Emerging Artists.

Named for the Norse god of wisdom, the Festival features outstanding musicians from the world’s leading orchestras, music schools and concert halls. This season, we will present five Mimir Artists concerts and two Emerging Artists concerts over a 12 day period from June 26 through July 7. All performances are at TCU’s PepsiCo Recital Hall, except the Sunday, July 2 ...
