Music In Adderbury

Concert performances from some of the UK’s top chamber musicians in the beautiful parish churches of Adderbury and Deddington in North Oxfordshire.

31 Years of Music in Adderbury

North Oxfordshire-based musician Chris Windass founded the Music in Adderbury series in 1986. Chris worked as a freelasnce violinist with many of the UK’s leading ensembles, and chamber and symphony orchestras. However, his lifelong passion for chamber music had led to form his own group, the Adderbury Ensemble, and the Music in Adderbury series began as a way to br

ing the group’s music to audiences in his home village. Music in Adderbury concerts were originally held only in the glorious setting of the parish church in the beautiful North Oxfordshire village of Adderbury. Nowadays, though, some of each season’s series concerts take place at the equally stunning parish church of Adderbury’s neighbouring village, Deddington. As well as numerous concerts from the Adderbury Ensemble, these venues have witnessed performances from many other brilliant musicians and chamber ensembles from the UK and overseas. These have included:

• Guildhall String Ensemble
• Medici String Quartet
• Brodsky String Quartet
• Brindisi String Quartet
• Lyric String Quartet
• Rogeri Trio
• Praga Ensemble
• Schubert Ensemble of London
• Maggini String Quartet
• Kreisler String Orchestra
• Bochmann String Quartet
• Emperor String Quartet
• Kent String Trio
• Romanesca
• Endymion Ensemble
• Eroica String Quartet
• Fine Arts Brass Ensemble

Some of the internationally celebrated soloists who have taken part in the Music in Adderbury series include Christopher Warren-Green; Robert Cohen; Bradley Creswick; Andrew Manze; Nigel North; Emily Beynon; Jane Atkins; Sian Edwards; Jonathan Kelly; Carolyn Sampson; and Andrew Haveron. Details of the current concerts season, ticket prices, etc can be found on the Music in Adderbury website. Music in Adderbury concerts are held under the auspices of the Adderbury Concerts Trust, registered UK charity number 1095242. The series also depend on the help and support of Friends of Music in Adderbury.
