Final release tickets for the 2026 Coriole Music Festival are on sale now, with punters advised to get in quick before they sell out.
Presented by the McLaren Vale Music Festival Association (MVMFA), Coriole Music Festival combines the world’s best chamber music with SA’s finest food and wine at Coriole Vineyards in McLaren Vale on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 May 2026.
Recognised as South Australia’s leading chamber music festival, the event enters a new era this year, with Artistic Director Kate Suthers curating her inaugural program centring around the idea of “beginnings”, which has been well received by audiences.
“It’s wonderful to receive such a warm response to the program from audiences. We are looking forward to welcoming everyone in May to the Fleurieu Peninsula for a celebration of chamber music, connection and community in the beautiful vineyards at Coriole”, said Suthers.
“It’s exciting that the festival is shaping up to be a complete sell-out. I’m thrilled that the festival is shaping up to be a complete sell-out. I’m thrilled there is such demand for tickets. The weekend, and the music from old to very new, will contain discoveries and demand curiosity.”
