About the festival
Alfriston Summer Music is a festival of classical music concerts given by internationally renowned musicians.
‘a week’s music making which takes place in the beautiful 14th century church in this idyllic English country village; each year Jeremy Young and Daniel Bhattacharya present chamber music in the most delightful surroundings you could imagine.
The church is ideal for performance for it isn’t too reverberant – it’s a small building (only 115 feet by 70!) – and there is a real feeling of intimacy which chamber music craves. I wish I could have stayed and heard more.
It says much for the quality of both the music and the music making that at the end of the concert many members of the audience wanted to stay and chat with the performers about what they had heard.
If this is what Alfriston Summer Music is all about then I hope to return and experience it again.’
