Just one week to go until the FINAL EVER ASHDOWN MUSIC FESTIVAL EVENT. As ever, it will feature World Class musicians. This year we also offer a unique, must-see performance rarely seen in the UK, let alone Forest Row… click this link to Miyoko’s stunning act.

Miyoko is flying all the way from Paris to grace our stage. Visit our website to buy your tickets for this unforgettable performance and much more besides.

We hope you are busy booking to come to our Farewell Gala Concert on Saturday 10th November. 

We have really exciting news about our Beethoven Septet in E Flat Major, to be performed after the interval. 

We have confirmed an incredible clutch of performers for this piece – we are thrilled to have wrangled them all together – check them out on our Performers Page. Each and every one is a top name and presence in their respective field. 

Seeing any of these players in a London venue would cost a fair whack – certainly much more than our very reasonable ticket price! This is what we have always wanted – to bring you outstanding music for an affordable price. 

Do book your ticket for our last ever event – Not To Be Missed! 

Our poster is out hot off the press and starting to find its way around local villages, towns and beyond. 
We hope you like it – we worked hard to balance a wealth of information with a festive look and feel!

Tickets are now selling for our Farewell Gala Concert – you will not want to miss our final fling!

Miyoko Shida RIGOLO

This is a not-to-be-missed occasion, featuring a world-renowned breathtaking balance performance by Miyoko Shida Rigolo, an electrifying Vivaldi Remix performed by a dynamic cello-bassoon duet and Beethoven’s wind Septet in E Flat Major op. 20. We fully intend to go out with a bang – be there for what we know will be an unforgettable night!

Dear All 

Tomorrow – Saturday 11th November – we go LIVE with our Day of Music. If you haven’t got your tickets yet we still have them available to purchase online here. You can also call Festival Director Reinoud Ford (who has had a trendy haircut especially for the occasion… come and see it for yourselves) on 07764 681777 for tickets. Any remaining tickets will be available to purchase on the door. 

Choose from our Family Concert featuring the amazing and inspiring Thorne Trio at 11:30am or our Afternoon Concert with the charismatic Cassius Trio at 4.30pm. If you’re feeling indulgent why not come to both? A rich, varied and top-notch day it will be. Both concerts take place in the Christian Community Church in Forest Row. 

As ever we will have delicious homemade treats for sale at both concerts. 

Hope to see you there! 

TICKETS for the ASHDOWN MUSIC FESTIVAL “A Day of Music” are on sale!

All tickets are available to purchase via credit card here or you may reserve tickets by calling: 07764 681777. 

We are very excited to be bringing you a day jam-packed with two brilliant and very different programmes on Saturday 11th November, 2017. 

Our Family Concert (generously sponsored by the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust) will be performed by the Thorne Trio. Filled with fantastic music, great games and informative instrument demos, this concert is a must for any young music fans and indeed any older ones too! Join us for what has become one of the Festival’s highlights each year. 

Keen crafters out there have the option to join us for an hour of creativity and fun before the Family Concert and can take home their self-made treasures afterwards!  

Our Afternoon Concert features the award-winning Cassius Trio. Franz Schubert, Ernst Von Dohnanyi and Johannes Brahms are all on the line-up. Featuring world-class musicians Ann Beilby, Reinoud Ford, Martyn Jackson and Sam Armstrong for a phenomenal price, this afternoon will be filled with a LOT of sparkling notes and is really not-to-be-missed! 

Please tell your friends and families and do book your tickets early to avoid disappointment. We always value your support for what we do. Here’s looking forward to a real AMF high note in November. 

See you there!

Dear All 

As you make fun family/ friendly plans for this coming weekend don’t forget about our Friends Concert on Saturday 16th September at 3.30pm in the Long Room at Michael Hall School. 

Delight in about an hour’s worth of Bach performed by two hunky cello men, to be followed by an array of (free!) refreshments served (we hope) on the terrace (fingers crossed the weather plays ball!) 

Contributing Friends of the AMF can attend the afternoon free of charge (and can bring a Plus 1 free of charge also). All others keen too attend can purchase tickets here or by calling Reinoud on 07764 681777 or on the door. We hope to see you there!
