Martin Randall Festivals

There surely can be few greater musical pleasures than listening to music in the places most closely associated with the composer or the first performance. Linking the music to the places so central to the composers’ lives, and providing the historical context, is at the heart of all our planning, as is ensuring that the music itself is performed by artists of the highest international standing.

The audiences on our classical music festivals are formed of participants who take a package which includes access to all the private concerts, accommodation, flights from the UK and transfers, meals with wine, talks by a musicologist, tips and much else besides.

Celebrating music and place

Our festivals in 2025 are The Cotswolds Choral Festival, (16–20 June), Music along the Seine (16–23 July) and Handel in Malta (21–27 November).

Our festivals planned for 2026 are Early Music in Yorkshire (6–11 May), The Rhine Piano Festival, (22–29 June), Music along the Danube (15–22 August), Music Along the Rhine (31 August–7 September), The J.S. Bach Journey (28 September–4 October) and Monteverdi in Venice (11–17 November) – please contact us to register your interest.

The footage here is from The J. S. Bach Journey in 2019.
