Festival of Music

Join us for an exciting week of music presented by old friends of the Festival and by musicians visiting for the first time. Pianists Angela Hewitt and Pavel Kolesnikov perform captivating programmes. We have song recitals with baritone Roderick Williams and mezzo-soprano Dame Sarah Connolly, and this year marks the final festival with the Maxwell Quartet as our Associate Ensemble. Their concerts promise not only passion and intensity, but also the charisma and joy they bring to all their performances.

More than ever, we are committed to hosting outstanding young musicians in the early stages of their careers – including the Echéa Quartet, accordionist Ryan Corbett, the Mithras Piano Trio, and young composer Sarah Cattley for the Festival’s first ever commission – and some not-to-be-missed family-friendly events.
