Enjoy a free, music-filled midday break in the O'Brien Atrium. Bring your meal, grab a spot, and experience incredible live performances by talented artists—it's the perfect way to refuel your energy for the rest of the day!
Formed by three friends during the pandemic, the Oxbow Trio found in chamber music a creative refuge that quickly grew into a deeply rewarding artistic collaboration. Violinist David Thies-Thompson and cellist Leah Wyber, both familiar faces from the National Arts Centre Orchestra, join pianist Nicole Presentey for a program featuring trios by Beethoven, Saint-Saëns, Turina, and Piazzolla, alongside a performance by the winner of Chamberfest’s 2026 Rising Stars Competition.
