Announcing the 2026 Season!

The Outer Cape Chamber Music Festival at PAAM brings world-class chamber music to Provincetown through an intimate concert series that uniquely integrates with the museum's visual art exhibitions. Led by cellist Joseph Gotoff, the series features concerts over two weeks in early summer, performed by world-class musicians with ties to Cape Cod. Each concert is specifically curated to converse with the art on display at the museum.
