ATX Chamber Music and Jazz Unveils a Bold 2025–26 Season

ATX Chamber Music and Jazz has announced its 2025–26 season, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet. From intimate house concerts to performances at the Paramount Theatre, the series brings world-class artists to Austin in settings that blur the lines between concert and community.

This year’s lineup features a roster of international stars: pianist Jeremy Denk, Afro-Cuban jazz legend Chucho Valdés, soprano Jeanine De Bique, and the celebrated Danish String Quartet. True to ATX’s signature style, each event is designed not just as a performance, but as an experience where music, food, and conversation flow together.

Guests can look forward to partnerships with Austin favorites like Here Nor There and The Roosevelt Room, who will craft cocktails, bites, and even mixology experiences that complement the artistry on stage. For those seeking something even more exclusive, ATX continues its premium all-inclusive offerings, which include valet service, afterparties, and rare opportunities to connect directly with the musicians.
