Rideau Hall has been the official residence of every Governor General of Canada since 1867, and their workplace since 1940. It has nearly two centuries of history, and has become an important gathering place and site of official activities. The grounds, the building and its interiors have evolved over time to reflect/reinforce Rideau Hall’s identity as a national symbol.

Chamberfest is pleased to be providing pop-up live chamber music at this site during Doors Open Ottawa. Start times for these short sets will be 11:00 AM, 11:30 AM, and 12:00 PM.
