Our 98th Season
2025-26

Since 1926, Hoylake Chamber Concert Society has presented an annual series of concerts, interrupted only by the World Wars and the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.  

We are one of the oldest chamber music societies in the UK, and as the only one currently in the wider Merseyside region, we have a proud tradition of bringing outstanding classical music performed by exceptional musicians to our audiences here on the Wirral. Throughout our long history, we have engaged internationally renowned artists, including the Amadeus, Chilingirian, Endellion, RTÉ Vanbrugh, Henschel, and Chiaroscuro string quartets, along with celebrated pianists Denis Matthews, John Ogdon and Piers Lane, and more recently, Clare Hammond. Many of the young British musicians and ensembles that we have featured, such as the Belcea, Carducci, Piatti and Sacconi Quartets, as well as Manchester Collective, have gone on to achieve international recognition and success.  We will continue to offer chamber music of an outstanding professional standard.

We strive to showcase and celebrate the works of a wide range of composers, often going beyond the classical canon to allow our audience to experience a taste of the very best that contemporary chamber music has to offer. Our 98th season features a solo piano recital followed by performances from two string quartets from Europe, a piano trio, a cello and piano duo, and a piano quartet. Our six concerts promise to delight with their ambitious programmes rich in variety and virtuosic styles.

Our venue, St Hildeburgh’s Church in Hoylake, has fine acoustics, comfortable seating, and free street parking and is easy to access via public transport links – we are just a few minutes’ walk away from Hoylake Station (Merseyrail). You are always guaranteed a warm reception and friendly atmosphere at our concerts, and we extend our welcome to non-members and curious members of the public.

We offer season membership for £85 (six concerts), and individual tickets can be purchased for £18 on the door or in advance through our website (£5 for students in full-time education). Under-15s can enjoy our concerts for free. Head to our ‘Membership’ page for more information.

We look forward to welcoming you to St Hildeburgh’s for another season of great chamber music.
