Mountain Productions is a non-profit organisation that presents the Blackheath Chamber Music Festival, an annual three-day chamber music festival held each April in the heart of the upper Blue Mountains.
The Festival was borne out of the town’s adversity: the 2019 bushfires and the pandemic; and a desire by founder, Catherine Harker, to restore, enrich and empower the vibrant community of Blackheath. Presenting its first festival in 2021, the Blackheath Chamber Music Festival has since established itself as an enduring event in the Australian arts calendar.
BCMF presents music experiences that are artistically excellent, Innovative and vibrant, featuring Australia’s pre-eminent classical musicians. BCMF’s programming is intrepid and courageous, with a passion for creating multi-artform collaborations and championing new and established Australian composers.
In 2027, BCMF has entered a new era with the retirement of founder, Catherine Harker and the appointment of violinist, Lerida Delbridge as the new Festival Director, commencing with the 2027 Festival.
