Following on from the success of last year, the festival ventures beyond the grounds of Paxton House for concerts in Norham, Berwick-upon-Tweed and Duns.
Angus Smith, Artistic Director, said: ‘Our distinguished guest musicians are once again offering a wonderful array of profound and inspirational music that embraces a wide range of compositional styles, and we firmly believe that the keynote of this festival will be ‘having fun’! We invite audiences to explore music that will both entertain and challenge all our preconceptions, in concerts that will demonstrate the joy of experiencing live music performed by passionate artists who dedicate their lives to their art.’
