Whittington International Chamber Music Festival

Whittington Music Festival CANCELLED
Dear supporters of Whittington festival,

THE CORONAVIRUS EFFECT

You may not be surprised to learn that, like many other event organisers, the festival trustees have decided to cancel this May’s Whittington Music Festival. We have done this with enormous regret as it was by far our most ambitious festival to date and our brilliant musicians were looking forward to it as much as we were. But they too were concerned about keeping the commitment, with many of them coming from abroad and having to observe the health advice of their own countries as well as that of the UK. We had to acknowledge as well that, as the epidemic became more serious, so the festival audience would almost certainly become smaller and the festival would no longer be financially viable.
