The second annual Louise E. Addicott Summer Chamber Music Festival will be taking place at Indiana University South Bend and across the Michiana region July 8-19, 2026! Directed by IUSB's resident string quartet, the Euclid Quartet, the festival welcomes the esteemed Viano and Verona Quartets, as well as two dozen student participants to a 10-day chamber music intensive. Members of the Michiana community will be able to attend performances and masterclasses by some of the world’s leading artists and witness the next generation of young stars in action here in South Bend. Events take place at IU South Bend, the St. Joe County Public Library (Main and River Park branches), and Howard Park Events Center. We hope to see you at some of these fabulous events!
