Music at Paxton presents classic opportunities to sponsor a festival which resonates across the whole of the UK
• About Music at Paxton -
established in response to local demand in 2006, Music at Paxton is a charitable organisation which produces an annual Chamber Music Festival each July in the tranquil setting of Paxton House, an eighteenth century Palladian country house, near the historic town of Berwick-upon-Tweed in the Scottish Borders.
"From a pilot weekend in 2006, we have grown to a ten-day summer festival, featuring international celebrity artists alongside emerging young talent and the best of the UK's established chamber musicians, with audiences who travel from Edinburgh and the Lothians, Northumberland and the Scottish Borders, Glasgow, and beyond.
• About Paxton House - an eighteenth century John Adam mansion, Paxton House nestles in the banks of the River Tweed. Full of treasures, the house is home to a magnificent collection of Chippendale and Trotter furniture, and boasts beautiful gardens and extensive woodland and riverside grounds. Concerts are held in the stunning Picture Gallery, an intimate venue seating 140, the largest built for a private home in Scotland, and an outreach of the National Galleries of Scotland.
With its wonderful acoustics, domed roof-light that lets in the summer sun and walls hung high with paintings from the National Galleries of Scotland's collection, it is an idyllic setting for chamber music.
• 2016 Festival - headlining the 2016 festival are violinist Alina Ibragimova, cellist Pieter Wispelwey and pianist Cédric Tiberghien, in a residency over the opening weekend alongside the Doric String Quartet, allowing scope for concerts of wide ranging formats and the opportunity for audiences to interact with our artists in varied settings. During the week we will present a Live Music Now Scotland showcase of emerging artists, who will also perform elsewhere in the community around the time of the festival. The closing weekend will feature the internationally-renowned Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt. Full programme details are available on request".
