Event Description:

The West Wycombe Chamber Music Festival at Hambleden is now in its 16th year. It was founded by the world-renowned viola player Lawrence Power, who is the artistic director of the Festival and one of the performers. He grew up in this area and every year he returns to present this exclusive and intimate concert series.

The five concerts span five centuries and will be performed by some of the finest musicians in the world of chamber music today.

This concert is the fourth of the five concerts which together make up the season.

Writing about the Festival, Lawrence comments:

“In this year’s five concerts we will be exploring the idea of “TIME”. I never cease to be amazed by how deeply music and time are intertwined and it’s inspiring to remember that in Ancient Greece astronomy, music, maths and physics were all equally studied. The Quadrivium as it was known brought these four disciplines together with equal significance in an attempt to understand the mysteries of the universe.  Music unfolds in time and time is made tangible through music.”
