A vibrant and eagerly anticipated event on Hampshire’s cultural calendar, Winchester Chamber Music Festival is brought to you by the renowned cellist, Kate Gould as Artistic Director, alongside her international chamber music colleagues. Since its foundation in 2007 the Festival has grown and become more ambitious in its programming whilst staying true to bringing top quality chamber music to as wide an audience as possible.
We are very pleased to be able to invite you to buy tickets for our annual Autumn Concert at which I will be joined by Lucy Gould and Rosa Hartley violins, and Scott Dickinson and Douglas Paterson violas.
By kind permission of Miranda and Douglas Paterson, this concert will be held, as the three last years, in the spacious barn at Cranbourne Farm near Sutton Scotney on Sunday 6 October at 3.30 pm. We are extremely grateful to Douglas and Miranda for offering to host the concert again and are very much looking forward to returning to such a beautiful spot.
The following programme lasts just over one hour and will run without an interval:
Felix Mendelssohn Capriccio from Four Pieces, Op. 81
Giacomo Puccini Crisantemi
Hans Krasa Tanec (Dance)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart String Quintet in D, K593
Weather permitting, we hope to serve wine and soft drinks in the garden after the concert. You can find directions to Cranbourne Farm and details of where to park below.
Seats are £22 each (plus the booking fee) and can be booked via the Eventbrite website. Simply click on this link to book.
We do hope you can join us.
Best wishes
Directions to Cranbourne Farm, Sutton Scotney, Winchester
(The postcode is unhelpful and satnav will direct you to the wrong place, so has not been given.)
From Sutton Scotney: take A30 towards Micheldever Station, pass the entrance to Norton Park Hotel on left; take farm track on left about 1⁄4 mile further on.
From A303 heading north-east: take first Micheldever Station exit, turn right under A303 and right at T junction, heading towards Sutton Scotney. Towards end of long straight stretch lined by yew trees, watch for farm track on right. If you get to Norton Park Hotel entrance, you have gone too far.
From A303 heading south-west: take exit for Micheldever Station, turn right and immediately left, then bear left on to A30 towards Sutton Scotney and Stockbridge. After about 11⁄2 miles, at end of yew-tree-lined straight stretch, watch for farm track on right. If you get to Norton Park Hotel entrance, you have gone too far.
There will be CONCERT signs at the end of the drive and CAR PARKING signs into the field. Limited disabled parking is just to the left of the barn on the hardcore surface.
