Classical Café presents monthly classical chamber concerts in association with the Brott Music Festival, at Artword Artbar, 15 Colbourne Street, Hamilton. The admission of $10 goes entirely to the musicians.

The Classical Café offers a wonderful chance for emerging professional musicians to perform new works in their repertoire, in a warm intimate setting. The musicians, drawn from the alumnae of the National Academy Orchestra and Brott Music Festival, will perform classical chamber works for small ensembles (duos, trios, quartets).
Artword Artbar, the latest project of Ronald Weihs and Judith Sandiford of Artword Theatre, is a neighbourhood bar in the James North Art District, that the owners are transforming into an arts hub for live music, art, poetry, theatre and dance.
