The three fine young artists comprising the Marsyas Trio

are coming to Barkham to give a recital featuring works

by women composers of the 19th-Century alongside those living today.

They are recording a CD in November for the Meridien label

and are the recipients of a ‘Women Make Music’ award

from the PRS for Music Foundation – a commissioning grant

intended to promote the work of living women composers.

All proceeds go towards the Festival's education work.

Please support - we need your help.

For those who have not visited us before,

the concerts take place in a converted barn

situated in a beautiful location on top of Exmoor.

Diary dates

The Two Moors Festival weekly concerts

in the Booking Office at Tiverton Parkway Station 

begin on Friday, 6th September.

Featuring talented up-and-coming artists,

they are well worth coming to

– as those who attended last October, discovered.
