Amersham Concert Club presents a series of chamber music recitals in Amersham each winter. Our concerts are an opportunity to hear current and future stars in an informal atmosphere. Often the musicians talk about the music they are going to play and there can be opportunities to meet and chat with them. Here are links to other opportunities to enjoy live music locally: |

Richard's vision was to bring orchestras and musicians of international repute to the Chilterns and Thames Valley. His objective was to encourage wider public access to affordable high-quality music that was within easy reach of the local community.
