**What the charity does:** Music at Paxton is dedicated to bringing exceptional chamber music to the widest possible audience in the Scottish Borders and Northumberland area, allowing affordable access to world class music (particularly classical chamber music) in local settings throughout a region with little arts provision. Special emphasis is placed on providing opportunities for families and young children to engage with outstanding music and musicians, and supporting young professional musicians in the early stages of their careers.   The charity’s main activity is centred around a ten-day festival, held each July at Paxton House on the banks of the River Tweed in the Scottish Borders, five miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed. Through its partnership with Live Music Now Scotland the charity also promotes free informal concerts in the spring and delivers outreach work, including a pre-festival Family Concert and a primary school project in nearby Duns.
