2026 Summer Festival

SNEMF summer festival 2026 once again spans several centuries over a fortnight in June/July. This year we are transported to the Mediterranean through exquisite music from France, Spain and Italy. Duo Trobairitz (22 June) present The Medieval Femme Fatale, featuring female troubadours and trouvères of 12th–13th century France.  Musicke’s Measure (24 June), is a new born ensemble in which familiar SNEMF performers Toby Carr (theorbo) Aileen Henry (harp) and Zoë Brookshaw (soprano) have been brought together by cornetto player Helen Roberts; they will be performing 17th century music from Italy in the beautiful Abney Park Chapel.  The Lowe Ensemble, an amazing group of talented siblings, perform Echoes of the Spanish Baroque (26 June). We also offer a morning harpsichord recital by Masumi Yamamoto  (18th June) as well as the familiar Summer Lullabies for our youngest listeners and a return visit from the GSMD students.

Further details soon!  Booking will open after Easter.
