Intimate and immersive performances in beautiful surroundings An intensive and congenial festival of chamber music on Denmark’s picturesque ‘Garden Island’. All concerts and recitals take place in a charming country house, where both artists and audience sleep. From Mahler to Mendelssohn; performances by international musicians including Quatuor Ébène, Ian Bostridge and Christiane Karg.

One of Europe’s finest!? Considered solely in terms of the musicians who perform there, Hindsgavl can claim to be one of Europe’s finest chamber music festivals. Resident instrumentalists for the 2020 edition include France’s dynamic Quatuor Ébène, celebrating their twentieth anniversary; versatile violinist Alina Ibragimova, renowned for her playing on both period and modern instruments; Canadian-born cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras, a brilliant exponent of the instrument’s entire repertoire from Bach to the present day; and French pianist Cédric Tiberghien, who appears both as chamber musician and soloist in John Cage’s captivating Sonatas and Interludes.

The festival closes with yet another magnificent French pianist, Bertrand Chamayou. The vocal talent on display is no less impressive with recitals from superstar English tenor Ian Bostridge and fast-rising Bavarian soprano Christiane Karg.

More than ‘just’ music But the musical programme, superlative though it is, is only part of what makes this festival so special. All the concerts take place in the magnificent Hindsgavl Castle, whose history dates back to the early thirteenth century and includes moments of international significance – it was here in 1814 that King Frederik VI signed the treaty renouncing Denmark’s claim to Norway. The castle is also where the festival musicians eat and sleep; like many of the audience members. Nor are the musicians the castle’s only attraction: its exquisite grounds are punctuated by pavilions, streams and ponds and feature orchards and gardens that supply ingredients for the castle’s chefs. Hans Christian Andersen was a frequent visitor to Hindsgavl and described its view – which now takes in an extensive deer park as well as the
