The Brickhills area stretches from Great Brickhill in the West, across and south of Milton Keynes, embraces Woburn and surrounding villages, and reaches to Stewartby in the East. In this area there is a long tradition of music-making, a tradition that has been augmented by the arrival of Milton Keynes. In 2007 a group of local musicians (singers, and members of local orchestras) put on a highly successful performance of Handel's Messiah - a performance that is becoming an annual tradition.
This year (2008) the Musicians of the Brickhills plan to perform a series of three concerts, all to be given in local churches and culminating in the 2008 Messiah. The proceeds of all concerts will be given to local charities.
In early May, a choral concert including Faure's marvellous requiem is planned. June will see an ensemble instrumental concert featuring the well-known local string Kasznowski String Quartet, who with other local Brickhill musicians, will perform the superb Schubert Octet. This is not to be missed!
