The West Wycombe Chamber Music Festival, now in its 11th year, was devised and created by the internationally-acclaimed violist Lawrence Power who grew up in this area of Buckinghamshire. Each year he returns to his home town bringing with him an array of some of the world's leading musicians to perform to audiences in this very special setting.
All concerts are performed in the historic Church of Saint Lawrence at the top of West Wycombe hill.
