Chiltern Arts Festival Dame Evelyn Glennie, Danny Driver, the Marian Consort and a night of cabaret to look forward to at the Chiltern Arts Festival 2020 With Christmas done and dusted for another year, the music world is turning its mind to celebrating 250 years since Beethoven’s birth. Chiltern Arts joins the festivities with a programme celebrating overcoming adversity in the arts, with its usual array of venues across the Chilterns, including Henley-on-Thames, Marlow, Berkhamsted, Amersham, Great Missenden, Wallingford and Princes Risborough. Chiltern Arts offers music for all tastes, from brass chamber music to piano trios to cabaret to Renaissance choral music and everything in between. One of the highlights of the 2020 programme is undoubtedly a mini-residency from eminent solo percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie. She is performing with jazz Trio HLK in Henley-on-Thames on 4th March; and with Matthew Wadsworth (lute) in a world premiere performance at the Candlelit Lute concert in Great Missenden on 5th March – definitely not one to miss. Chiltern Arts’ popular Concert and Dinner event returns to The Gatsby in Berkhamsted with members of the Piccadilly Dance Orchestra… Think ‘20s and 30s high society entertainment – grab a glass of fizz and enjoy turning back the clock in the perfect setting!
