The Adderbury Ensemble was formed in 1986 by a number of Britain's finest young musicians and has grown from concerts organised in the beautiful village of Adderbury in North Oxfordshire.

This series was founded in 1987 by Christopher Windass, a violinist with many of the country’s ensembles, chamber and symphony orchestras, as well as having a lifelong passion for chamber music.

The series takes place in the glorious setting of Adderbury Parish Church. This stunning venue has played host to concerts featuring many of the country’s most brilliant musicians and chamber ensembles.

There have been over 100 concerts given in the church as part of Music in Adderbury. Some well-known musicians who have taken part include:
Christopher Warren-Green, Robert Cohen, Bradley Creswick, Andrew Manze, Nigel North, Emily Beynon, Jane Atkins, Sian Edwards, Jonathan Kelly, Carolyn Sampson, Andrew Haveron. The highly acclaimed Adderbury Ensemble was formed in 1987 and has given many concerts in the series. It draws its members from all over the country. The players hold principal positions in other major British orchestras.

Concerts are held on Sundays at 7.45pm.

The Oxford Coffee Concerts were started in 1986 and have since established themselves as one of the most successful chamber music series in the country. The concerts are nearly every Sunday morning throughout the year. The concerts are given by the best musicians and ensembles from this country and abroad in the stunning setting of the Holywell Music Room.
