The Seven Hills Chamber Music Festival officially returns for its August 2026 season with "The Season of Song," bringing an eclectic and ambitious lineup of vocal works, song-inspired chamber music, and a world-premiere opera to the Hill City. With classical masterworks and exciting new music alike, this year’s festival celebrates the voice alongside Lynchburg's unique history.

The season concludes with the festival's anchor production: the world premiere (concert version) of the opera La Trout Lily by Chicago native composer Paul Scherer. This Southern gothic mystery serves as the centerpiece of "The Season of Song," and marks a historic moment for the Seven Hills Chamber Music Festival.
