“…..sounds of unfailing beauty and warmth”. The Strad
Winchester Chamber Music Festival is presented by the London Bridge Ensemble. The 2010 Festival runs from 23 – 25 April. Looking even further ahead, the 2011 dates are provisionally set for 29 April – 2 May.
Warm thanks to our principal partner, the Discovery Centre. A huge thank you also to our volunteers – Audrey Atter, Gill Collymore, Bruce Edwards, Iris Gould, Susan Gould, Christine Hardwick, Clare Harvey, Kate Morgan, Jane Poulter and Louise Woods, without whom the Festival could not happen.
Fundraising is crucial to maintain this special event year on year and we are immensely grateful to our Founder Patrons, Audrey Atter, Lewis and Angela Atter, Michael Bell, Jane Poulter and Freida and Frank Stack, who were instrumental in inaugurating the festival. Thanks also to our 2010 patrons and donors Carol Orchard, Jane Poulter and those who prefer to remain anonymous.
In October 2009 at our autumn fundraising concert, we launched our Friends scheme and are delighted by the positive response from so many of our audience members. We are indebted to The Leopold Trust under whose auspices we are able to make your donation go further through GiftAid. Click here for more information.
The Festival is supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, to whom warm thanks. Thanks also to Hampshire County Council and its Arts Activity Funding scheme and to Winchester City Council’s Community Chest scheme; both organisations are supporting the Festival for the first time. We also immensely appreciate the support of the Cavatina Chamber Music Trust, Hampshire County Youth Orchestra and Hampshire Music Service, which are all helping us to help young people discover the beauty of chamber music. We greatly appreciate The Pilgrim’s School offering us rehearsal space. A big thank you to Chris Bruty, of Habanero Design, who created our print and Sarah Bucknall, who helped shape this website.
