Flore Arts Events was formed in 2016 in the village of Flore, Northamptonshire by a group of like-minded people with the objective of raising money for local charities through a programme of arts-related events and activities. Since our inception we have hosted a range of musical events from early music to jazz - not to mention poetry evenings and a silent movie night.

​

The Box Office is now open for our first event of 2025...

​

Chamber Music for winds and piano featuring members of Ensemble Renard and pianist Mark Rogers. We are delighted to present what will be a truly exceptional evening of virtuosic playing. Expect dazzling music from Ellie Blamires (Flute), Patrick Bolton (Bassoon) and Francesca Cox (Oboe) who will be teaming up with award-winning American pianist Mark Rogers.

​

Ensemble Renard are going from strength to strength. As well as winning the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society’s Henderson Chamber Ensemble Award and securing a place on the Britten Pears Young Artist Scheme they have now recorded their first album. This year’s busy concert diary includes performances at the Aldeburgh Festival as well as a further tour of Scotland. Mark Rogers’ credits include prize-winning performances at the Nadia and Lili Boulanger competition in Paris and at the Royal Academy of Music.

​

The evening will include music from Handel, Britten and Judith Weir… and lots more.

Saturday May 17th, 7.30pm, All Saints Church, Flore. Tickets £15 (£5 Under 18s): call Rosemary Read on 01327 341026 (between 9am and 6pm). Licensed bar.
