Music in Country Churches 2013


We are delighted to be welcoming back Music in Country Churches to Malmesbury Abbey on May 3rd and 4th 2013.

Founded in 1989, Music in Country Churches was set up with the active support of the Prince of Wales, with the specific aim of bringing world-class musicians to country churches of particular beauty and importance. The concerts they arrange, over three weekends annually, are designed to raise funds to help these churches with maintenance and upkeep of their fabric.

This year on Friday 3rd May at 7.30pm the featured musicians will be The Nash Ensemble in a performance of Schubert, Berwald and Beethoven. On Saturday 4th May at 11am Caroline Cerasi (fortepiano) will be performing CPE Bach, Mozart and Haydn. And then on Saturday 4th at 7.30pm the London Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Sir Neville Marriner, will be performing music by Mozart, Wieniawski, Saint-Saens and Beethoven.

Full programmes and ticketing information can be found here. NB Tickets can not be bought in advance from Malmesbury Abbey, although on the day unsold tickets may be available and on the Saturday morning young people are welcome to attend for the price of a programme.
