Festival update: the Musical Picnic is going ahead but performances may move to the Festival Marquee of the weather is very wet.

Lying here trying to sleep but my head is swimming with the sound of Beethoven string quartet No. 15 (A minor, Op. 132) which I heard for the first time ever at Southwell Music Festival tonight and it has blown my tiny little mind. Incredible playing of a phenomenal piece.

We have had two exhilarating days of incredible music making here at Southwell Music Festival . Now for day 3! Leveret - ON TOUR OCTOBER 2024 + Fringe events at Ceramics in Southwell + the small matter of a Mozart Requiem & a world premiere from Cheryl Frances-Hoad & Kate Wakeling !

A joy to be at the premiere of ‘With What Sudden Joy’ at Southwell Minster on Sunday. Hugest thanks to Alison Rose, Marcus Farnsworth, Kate Wakeling, and the Southwell Music Festival for bringing this 20 minute work for solo soprano, choir and string orchestra to life.
