After ten moving and exciting years, the organisers have decided that this will be the final Chacombe Music Festival.
We have put together a programme of outstanding quality, inviting back many of the performers from our early years. These musicians, who are now established on the international concert circuit, have made a special effort to come to Chacombe, from where they have all said they have so many happy memories.
We hope that, in turn, you will want to return to Chacombe for one last time, to rejoice in the achievements and enjoyment of which we have all been part.
This is not the end of young musicians coming and delighting us in Chacombe, as Sophie's Barn will be welcoming many more young and talented performers in years to come.
We very much look forward to welcoming you to our concerts in Chacombe this summer.
