There is a rich variety of live music at Art in Action, and it’s all free! There will be two concerts each day in the Ballroom of Waterperry House – on Thursday the Little Baroque Company will be making a welcome return visit and on Sunday the Piatti String Quartet will play Haydn. There will be concerts in the marquee and in the Theatre. The quiet retreats in Waterperry Church, which have proved very popular over the last two years, will continue as well as informal music played around the site, weather permitting.
