Finchcocks is proud to announce return of its outdoor musical festival!
Adapting to the pandemic, Finchcocks built an outdoor stage in 2020, hosting open-air concerts to guests booked on residential piano courses. 2021 saw the exciting development of the first public Finchcocks Festival, hosting performances by the Piccadilly Sinfonia, Warren Mailley-Smith, Victoria Sayles, Florian Mitrea and Amusia Productions… and it’s returning for a third year running!
This year we’re delighted to be welcome back Jazz on the lawn and concert pianist Florian Mitrea’s Music for a Coronation, with all profits going to charity.
- Saturday 12th August Jazz trio on the lawn with David Hall, Jennifer Maslin & James Sunney
- Sunday 13th August Music for a Coronation with Florian Mitrea
