Begun on a shoestring in 1995, the Stoke Newington Early Music Festival has grown and flourished through the years. Generously supported by local businesses — but always independent of public funding — it is now an indispensable feature of the Stoke Newington summer, enjoyed by local residents and by lovers of early music from everywhere.
The setting is perfect — the beautiful Tudor church by Clissold Park.
The acoustic is perfect.
The size of venue is perfect — ideal for Renaissance and Baroque music.
The musicians are world-leaders.
The programmes are imaginative.
It is a perfectly formed, intimate festival of great charm and the highest standards.
And after every concert the wine flows and the musicians and audience mingle.
