LADY VALERIE SOLTI (1937-2021)

We are very sorry to hear of the death of Lady Solti, a Trustee of Music in Country Churches, on 31 March 2021. Lady Solti, widow of Sir Georg Solti, was a great supporter of music and encouraged many young professional musicians. We shall greatly miss Lady Solti’s support and advice. All of us at Music in Country Churches offer condolences to her children, relatives and friends.

Collaborating Artist

I have over the last 20 years attended many concerts promoted by ‘Music in Country Churches’, an excellent charity working hard to raise money for hard-up rural churches. Each concert is meticulously organised and features guest artists of international calibre

Collaborating Artist

It has always been a great pleasure for me to take part in the Music for Country Churches concerts, whether it was with orchestra, chamber music or a solo recital. The churches in which the concerts take place are always special, frequently situated in the most lovely English countryside, and the audiences are always warm, attentive and most welcoming. Meeting with the audience in a marquee where supper is served after the concert is another touch enjoyed by all the performers and audience alike.

It is one of the Trust’s unique achievements that it has been able to take music of this quality to the countryside and at the same time make significant contributions to over seventy churches to help with the costs of their upkeep.

Concertgoer

Music in Country Churches is a celebration of beautiful music and beautiful churches. I was fortunate to be present at the first concert more than twenty years ago in Norfolk. Since then, like thousands of people in many areas, I have enjoyed concerts and recitals by musicians and choirs of international repute.

Friend of MICC

My association with Music in Country Churches began over fifteen years ago. Since then I have travelled many miles to concerts that combine the attractions of historic architecture and the talents of first class international artists.
