Tuckamore Festival

The Tuckamore Festival takes its name from the tuckamore tree, an evergreen unique to Newfoundland and Labrador and celebrated for its tenacity, strength and special beauty. Since 2001, the festival has worked hard to create a two-week event that inspires, excites, provokes, moves, teaches, and mentors. Its extraordinary chamber music series of world-class musicians draws devoted audiences from the Province and beyond. The Tuckamore young artists program attracts talented emerging musicians and composers from across the continent to mentor with the Festival’s renowned faculty and guest artists. With numerous outreach concerts, educational and free events, the Festival also welcomes new audiences and strives to deepen their enjoyment and understanding of music. The Festival also champions the creation of chamber music works by living composers by the commissioning and performing new works. Tuckamore is all things chamber music!
