Join us at our home, Acland Burghley School, for a special recital as we head into the second half of our 40th anniversary seasons. Enjoy performances reflective of the 2026/27 Season by a string quartet of OAE musicians alongside the brilliant Rising Stars alum, Hugo Hymas.
We’re also pleased to be joined by our special guest, BBC presenter Katie Derham, who will lead a lively conversation with OAE players, forming a panel to share a first glance and insider insights into how the 2026/27 Season has been shaped. With a glass of sparkling wine on arrival and the chance to mingle with fellow OAE supporters and musicians, it’s an evening of music, conversation and the evening promises to be a vibrant celebration of all to come in the upcoming season.
