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, Victoria Sayles, Florian Mitrea, Diane Day and Amusia Productions… and 2022 sees its celebrated return!
This year we’re delighted to be welcome back Jazz on the lawn and concert pianist Warren Mailley-Smith’s ever popular Chopin & champgne with all profits going to Help Musicians and other good causes.
- Saturday 16th July Jazz trio on the lawn with David Hall, Jennifer Maslin & James Sunney
