The Gould Piano Trio, Robert Plane and a host of distinguished colleagues once again convene in the exquisite Northumbrian village of Corbridge for three days of inspiring chamber music concerts.

With concerts throughout the day, music to please all tastes, and with Corbridge on the doorstep of Hadrian’s Wall Country and the glorious Tyne Valley, why not savour a summer weekend of uplifting chamber music, all heard in the crystal clear acoustics of historic St. Andrew’s Church.
