Music in Quiet Places

Continuing its tradition of bringing professional classical concerts to some of the most idyllic settings in Aylesbury Vale, Music in Quiet Places returns this May.
Music in Quiet Places is designed to bring local, rural communities together and is the ideal opportunity to enjoy a professional concert with family and friends.
A free walk led by a local historian around the scenic village precedes each concert. These walks are free and open to all, whether attending the concert or not.


Facilities

For many concerts refreshments will be served in the interval with proceeds going directly to church funds. Consideration to local residents when parking for the concert is requested. We cannot guarantee toilet facilities at all of the venues.
