High Barnet Chamber Music Festival 2025

What do we do?

Inspired by the cultural deprivation of the pandemic, in 2021 we launched the High Barnet Chamber Music Festival. Since then we've run a wide-ranging programme of concerts each year, from orchestral spectacles to intimate solo recitals, commissioned new music, and worked with educational groups across the borough. Now we're back with a fifth exciting season!

Through HBCMF we aim to inspire a love of classical music in Barnet and provide a platform for the most talented early-career professional musicians. The festival is rapidly becoming a significant part of Barnet’s cultural landscape, and we're increasing our educational activity, with masterclasses and a volunteering scheme.

What's happening this year?

Four events: a free family concert on 7th June precedes the three recitals in our series.

How can you help?

Supporting us does several things:

1) You help keep tickets at an affordable level so everybody can experience this amazing music.

2) You allow us to attract the best musicians to give fantastic concerts.

3) You ensure that we can pay our artists fairly.

To become a Friend of HBCMF, donate at least £50. All our Friends are listed in our concert programmes and receive priority booking for our concerts. If you feel able to give more, please see our website for details of our other packages, which come with further perks and benefits.

Thank you so much for your help & support. The festival simply would not exist without the generosity and goodwill of donors like you.
