St Hubert’s Idsworth music series: The Little Song Party
Read preview notes about the 2026 music series.
In September, we are thrilled to welcome Penelope Appleyard and Jonathan Delbridge to St Hubert’s.
Breaking our one-word rule just once this season, ‘Sense & Musicality’ tells the love story of Jane Austen and music, exploring the tension between head and heart in her life and writing. Alongside familiar favourites such as the theme from Pride & Prejudice, we will hear Handel, Gluck and traditional songs of the period, as well as Ode to Pity: a rare musical setting of Austen’s own poetry commissioned for her 250th anniversary and featured on BBC Radio 3.
The Little Song Party’s performances have been described as ‘seamlessly blending scholarship with entertainment’. Stunningly scripted concerts where the spoken word and music sit naturally side by side. We can’t wait.
Tickets £25.

About the series “One Word, Many Notes”.
‘One Word, Many Notes’ is a concert series built around a beautifully simple idea: that one word can open the door to a whole world of music.
Each evening takes a single word and brings it to life through performances by exceptional musicians. From choirs and musicians through to stunning operatic favourites, you are invited to experience how different performers interpret their word in wonderfully varied and surprising ways.
Whether you are a lifelong music lover or simply curious to try something new, these concerts offer the chance to enjoy outstanding live performance in one of Hampshire’s most memorable places. ‘One Word, Many Notes’ is about bringing people together, celebrating great music and creating shared moments of joy, reflection and community through the power of music.
