Born of a desire to bring a celebration of chamber music to Scotland's heart, the Three Rivers Festival took place for the first time in July 2025.

​Exciting young musicians and artists, as well as more experienced performers, played in a carefully curated programme of solo recitals, educational workshops, string quintets, and improvised collaboration with visual art. The programmes imaginatively combined familiar masterpieces with lesser known gems as well as a string quintet written just for the Three Rivers Festival which premièred at the final concert.

The events took place in a variety of venues, each in their own way integral to the fabric of the history and culture of Stirling and its surrounding area.

​Accessibility is at the heart of what we do, which is why our ticket prices are so low: tickets to our concerts cost only £10, and under 18s are free of charge.

​We hope you will join us in 2026 for our second festival, filled with innovation, community, celebration, culture and musical joy!
