Where you can see premier classical music in Buckinghamshire

DATE

April 22, 2026

The Jordans Music Club team invite you to enjoy globally acclaimed musicians close to home between 31 May & 12 July 2026.

Here’s something special to add to your summer diary, close to home. The Jordans Music Club’s 83rd Summer Festival – and yes, at 83 years old, it might just be older than you (and certainly older than most festivals around here!).

There’s something wonderfully reassuring about that longevity. For more than eight decades, this much-loved series has brought world-class classical music to the heart of Bucks, proving you don’t need to dash into London – or pay London prices – to enjoy exceptional performances.

Concerts take place in the welcoming surroundings of Jubilee Hall in Seer Green, where the atmosphere is intimate, friendly and refreshingly unpretentious. It’s the kind of place where you can simply sit back and let the music do its thing.

Who’s performing?

The season opens on Sunday 31 May with the Consone Quartet, a brilliant young ensemble already making waves internationally. As BBC New Generation Artists, they bring a fresh, vibrant energy to classics by Haydn, Mozart and Schubert – the perfect way to start the festival.

On Sunday 14 June, pianist Ryan Wang, who shot to fame after winning BBC Young Musician in 2024, will star. Still early in his career but already captivating audiences worldwide, he’ll perform pieces by Schubert, Mozart, Mussorgsky and more.

While things take a slightly different turn on Sunday 28 June, with an evening of clarinet and piano. Internationally renowned clarinettist Michael Collins joins acclaimed Irish pianist Michael McHale for a rich and varied programme featuring Debussy, Saint-Saëns and Poulenc. Expect both flair and feeling!

And finally, The Jordans Music Club Summer Festival closes on Sunday 12 July with the London Handel Players, bringing a joyful celebration of Baroque favourites by Bach, Handel and Vivaldi. It’s a fittingly uplifting finale to a festival that has stood the test of time. All concerts begin at 7.30pm, making them perfect for a relaxed summer evening out.

Whether you’re a lifelong classical fan or just fancy trying something a little different, this is a lovely way to slow down, soak up some culture and enjoy truly beautiful music – right on your doorstep.
