Music in Marlow
About us
Who we are
Christ Church Music in Marlow has been run for over a decade
on a voluntary basis as a project of Christ Church URC. Christ Church was
built in 1840 and beautifully modernised in 2002-3. The chapel's superb
acoustic makes it a perfect venue for smaller groups of performers.
We started our regular concert programme in 2012 and, by the summer of
2022, had run 75 events in all. Since then we have held occasional concerts mainly to raise funds for Christian Aid and for our
Aid For Ukraine project.
What we do
We have put on the kinds of music that we enjoy hearing! That includes
instrumental recitals, chamber music, jazz, choral and occasionally other genres.
Until summer 2022, we brought professional musicians to the town
but also provide provided a platform for young and amateur players. We are
no longer able to run concerts in the way we used to, but we are happy to work together with musicians to hold concerts to raise funds for the causes we support as a church. Do get in touch if you would like to offer us a performance.
Your support
Proceeds from tickets may be used to pay the musicians, to cover the costs of publicity, and where shown to raise money for specified causes such as Christian Aid.
Profits made in the past have been used to purchase of the church's 1901 Bechstein grand piano and contributed to the 2021 'Walk
of Life' project in the garden, as well as to support Christian Aid and our
Aid for Ukraine project.
Next events
Concerts no longer run as frequently as they did but we are continuing to hold occasional events. Details of two events for summer 2023 can be seen here.
