Summer Music is a festival of high-quality chamber music concerts in relaxing, rural locations. It aims to open hearts and minds to the incomparable experience of live music-making in surroundings which enhance the listener's appreciation and enjoyment.
The festival was established by Music-Makers in the Scottish Borders between 1995 and 2005, firstly at Ayton Castle and then at Paxton House. Featuring some of Britain’s outstanding chamber musicians, its reputation rapidly grew under the direction of Gusztáv Fenyő and Susanne Stanzeleit to become Scotland’s leading chamber music festival.
In 2008 we were delighted to present our first festival at Haddo House in Aberdeenshire, while continuing our association with Paxton House in the Borders: Summer Music 2008 combined, thus, an extended weekend of events on a similar theme at both venues, providing an opportunity for audiences to sample the distinctive flavour of each location.
Our next Summer Music at Paxton House will be held from 4th to 6th June 2010. Dates for Haddo House are not yet fixed, but to ensure you are kept up-to-date with event planning for both venues, simply e-mail
