Named after Austin Chamber Music Center founder, Felicity Coltman, the Coltman Chamber Music Competition provides performance experience and expert commentary to advanced chamber ensembles along with cash prizes and performance opportunities.

Each year KMFA Classical 89.5, a proud sponsor of this prestigious competition, records the finalists for a broadcast special to air later in the year. The ongoing circumstances surrounding the pandemic pushed the final showdown online for a virtual presentation once again this past March. As such, KMFA invited some of the finalists to record selections in the Draylen Mason Music Studio.
