About the Festival
MusicFest is a long-running and beloved local chamber music festival that became a partnership with Telluride Chamber Music in 2022. Curated by co-Artistic Directors Kathryn Lockwood and Yousif Sheronick of duoJalal, the festival presents world-class performances in the gorgeous home of Anne & Vincent Mai — a restored barn at 10,000 feet with unparalleled views of Mt. Sunshine, designed for experiencing chamber music up close.
This year's festival is dedicated to the memory of Barbara Lockwood, mother of Artistic Director Kathryn Lockwood.

The Duo Behind the Festival
duoJalal
Genre-blurring chamber music from violist Kathryn Lockwood and percussionist Yousif Sheronick — TCM's co-Artistic Directors. Adventurous and category-defying, the duo bridges classical traditions with global rhythms.
Their work has taken them from Carnegie Hall to festivals across six continents, and they are in residence at the Four Seasons in Music concert series at the Sands Point Preserve on Long Island. Together, since 2022, they have curated MusicFest at Telluride Chamber Music.

The Venue
Mai House
All MusicFest concerts are hosted at the private home of Anne & Vincent Mai — a restored barn perched at 10,000 feet, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing Mt. Sunshine. The setting is intimate by design: chamber music a few feet from the audience, with the San Juans as the backdrop.
