The West Wycombe Chamber Music Festival

The West Wycombe Chamber Music Festival was established thirteen years ago by the internationally acclaimed viola player Lawrence Power. Lawrence was born and brought up in High Wycombe and is now recognised as a performer of the very highest calibre in the music world.

Each September Lawrence returns to the area to direct and perform in this three-day not-for-profit music festival which offers audiences five attractively programmed concerts. He attracts an array of top flight musicians who join him to take part in this exclusive series of concerts.

The Festival has firmly established its place as one of the key musical events in our locality.

The Guardian newspaper, hailing the 2021 Festival as “One of the top ten classical music events of 2021” added: “There’s a small breed of elite international musicians who, away from the main-stage limelight, pour their energies into nurturing young artists, promoting contemporary works, staging bold, experimental festivals, often unnoticed by the wider world.”

The 2024 Festival runs from 19th to 21st of September, when the five concerts will be given at the Church of St Mary the Virgin in the exquisite village of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire.
