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.
