Whittington Music Festival 2026
First Impressions

“Just to say how very much I enjoyed the concerts I attended on Friday and Saturday nights.  All the musicians were brilliant.  Sophia is to be congratulated on putting together such inspirational programming, variety and talent.  Please do kindly pass this on to her.  The calibre of performance, as clearly enjoyed by the audiences, is outstanding.  Having played the Schumann Piano Quintet myself many times (as a violinist), I have never heard it performed with such a wide range of dynamics, sensitivity and innovative interpretation, to say nothing of the beautiful playing.  It was a revelation to me!  The atmosphere at Whittington is electrifying, and clearly, we are enormously lucky to be able to enjoy such a high standard of musicianship throughout.  Thank you all very much indeed.

Looking forward already to next year!”
