About

Music at Paxton presents another series of brilliant concerts presented by world class musicians renowned for the deep passion and insight they bring to their performances.

2025 highlights include the Consone Quartet, who mark their third and final year as our Associate Ensemble with three concerts including Schubert's incomparable String Quintet (with cellist Philip Higham).

The festival also welcomes Baroque specialists the London Handel Players, who will present a linked programme of work by JS Bach, Telemann and CPE Bach, while a series of mid-week concerts sees lute/theorbo player Toby Carr, mezzo-soprano Helen Charlston and pianist Sholto Kynoch present three concerts between them in the atmospheric settings of Paxton House, Norham Church and Duns Parish Church, with a programme that reaches across centuries, including work from by Philip Rosseter, Monteverdi & Barbara Strozzi.

"Quietly pioneering and really quite exciting." (Music at Paxton 2024, The Scotsman)
