"We are thrilled to mark the 40th anniversary of the Amersham Festival of Music with such an exceptional lineup of performances," said Iain Ledingham, Artistic Director, Amersham Festival of Music. "For four decades, our festival has been a celebration of musical excellence, and this year's programme is a testament to the enduring power of music to inspire and uplift audiences. We open the Festival with a Gala Concert by our Amersham Festival Chamber Orchestra in the lovely setting of the Dukes Hall at the Royal Academy of Music, on Marylebone Road, a superb venue. Our orchestra, made up of outstanding professional players from London orchestras, has been a unique attraction and success over the last 40 years and we hope you will join us to hear them in a festive programme of masterpieces by Mozart and Rossini on April 5th.’’

The Amersham Festival also supports young people with their musical studies and offers an annual bursary scheme and regularly includes a ‘Young Artist Recital’ in the festival programme. They have supported well over 100 young musicians to date. Over the past five years, they have distributed over £20,000. These awards have been used either for tuition fees or the purchase of instruments and have helped many young musicians by assisting in their musical education.
