Trumpet in the Garden

part of Fiori Musicalis summer series 2025 - Hortus Musicus - the musical garden

TRUMPET IN THE GARDEN

An opportunity to visit the wonderful Northamptonshire gardens atCoton Manor. The 17th-century court at Krom in Moravia was known for its fine gardens and first-rate musicians including much admired court trumpeters. Today the palace library holds quantities of trumpet music (some surviving only in the archives there!) which will resound again in an alfresco feast of Moravian baroque music.

And what about a picnic tea beforehand? You can book a 'Best of British Hamper' or 'Vegetarian Hamper' prepared by Zest Catering (or even bring your own) and enjoy these glorious gardens - a colourful backdrop for the occasion. Gates open at 3pm.
