Stonevale Concerts
Great Coxwell is a small English village in Oxfordshire just off the main A420 route between Oxford and Swindon.
Stonevale Concerts started in 2006 in the front room of our house here in Great Coxwell. It was supposed to be a one-off fundraising concert, but due to the success and popularity, we kept going with it, and we have now hosted over 150 concerts in total. Stonevale itself has two grand pianos (Steinway and Yamaha) especially for the two-piano concerts, as well as a dual-manual 8’ harpsichord for Baroque concerts. The venue has a seating capacity of 40 people.
Many successful musicians have performed at Stonevale, including Ben Schoeman, Mami Shikimori, Manus Noble, Emanuel Salvador, and Stephanie Childress.
Concerts have always been free but with a donation box to support the artists. After a successful recent concert in our wonderful 12th Century village church, St Giles, and with support from the vicar and her team, we are now also able to use this as a new venue for selected concerts on certain dates through the year.
St Giles Church has a Yamaha Mahogany C3 grand piano and the church can seat up to about 100 people. Whilst there are plans to modernize the facilities there, this will take some time and at present there are no toilets in the church itself.
