Music at Paxton

Charity registered in Scotland SC037392

Music at Paxton’s music festival and series of chamber music concerts provides affordable access to world-class music in the under-served area of the Scottish Borders. Special emphasis is placed on community, participation and outreach, encouraging under-represented parts of the community to engage and supporting advanced students and young professionals. Paxton House’s Picture Gallery – the Festival’s main concert venue – is a partner gallery of the National Galleries of Scotland. Informal events are presented in the Marquee, with outreach events taking place in community settings across the Scottish Borders.

Could you help us continue to bring quality live music to the under-served Borders region? Would you like to play a key leadership role in supporting the future of a world-class chamber music festival?

We are currently open to applications for a Chair to lead our Board of Trustees when our current Chair stands down in October. Previous governance experience is less essential than a passion for the Arts. We are especially keen to hear from those with a connection to the Scottish Borders/Northumberland.
