Our Purpose
Tree of Strings will fund and produce a year-round programme of concerts and educational events – and we’re launching in early 2026.
Our work will connect emerging and established musicians through performances and school projects, culminating in a festival in Dorset next summer.
At a time when provision for music is shrinking, we exist to nurture young talent, inspire new audiences and keep music rooted in the community.

Our Artistic Director
Tree of Strings is led by renowned cellist Adrian Brendel, whose career as a soloist and collaborator has taken him to major festivals and concert halls around the world.
As co-founder and artistic director of the celebrated Plush Festival, Adrian spent over two decades bringing world-class music to rural Dorset and inspiring new generations of musicians.
Tree of Strings builds on that legacy. His commitment to musical excellence and education shapes everything we do.
