Who are we

Our aim is to bring international artists to Tenby and share music from across the world with the local community. By bringing international musicians to Tenby, TIMF will offer an eclectic mix of concerts, suited to all ages and people. 

We are delighted to be partnered with the Wyoming International Chamber Music Festival, located in Laramie (USA). Through this partnership, we will promote works of Wales and the USA in both festivals, and look to foster a strong relationship for years to come with our friends across the pond.
