See you on Sunday!

Today's the day - we’re off on our summer tour 🚌

From coastlines to cathedrals, we’re making our way around some beautiful spots across the North East, performing Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.

Iona from our orchestra caught up with BBC Newcastle's Gilly Hope to chat acoustics, ensemble life and who gets her vote for top composer.

Just over a fortnight now until we welcome back Royal Northern Sinfonia to Sedbergh. They were last here during our 2024 festival, and we are delighted that they are returning for this one-off concert in what is a non-festival year for us. Tickets are still available for the concert on 22nd June at 6:30pm. The venue is Powell Hall at Sedbergh School

NEW CONCERT!
Sunday 22nd June 2025, 6:30pm, Powell Hall, Sedbergh School

We're already starting to look ahead to our next festival in 2026 following the enormous success of our 2024 festival. In the meantime, we are delighted to welcome the Royal Northern Sinfonia back to Sedbergh for a concert as part of their newly-announced tour. Directed by their Artistic Partner Maria Włoszczowska, they will be performing a programme perfect for a summer evening.
Three centuries after they were composed, Vivaldi’s 'The Four Seasons' sounds as fresh and tuneful as ever – and there’s still nothing to beat the sensation of hearing these four brilliant concertos performed live in concert. Experience the birdsong of Spring, the downpours of Summer, the celebrations of Autumn, and the icy shiver of Winter. Also on the set list are delightful, whirling dances in Grieg’s 'Holberg Suite', Veress' 'Four Transylvanian Dances' and Skalkottas' 'Five Greek Dances'.

Tickets (£20) are now available from this link: https://www.trybooking.com/uk/EJIJ

The Fakir Trio were sensational last night!

26/06/2024

It's the final day of our 2024 festival tomorrow, with two more concerts to look forward to as we round off 10 days of events.

Kenneth Wilson, Highway Cello, returns to the festival for the 1pm St Andrew's Church slot.

The BBC Singers are performing in the Sedbergh School Chapel at 7:30pm. Although this concert sold out a few days ago, we are pleased to have created some extra spaces in the normal choir stalls - albeit with extremely restricted views. These reduced-price tickets will be available on the door only. Note that the entrance at the west end of the chapel is the front door for this event.

Coming up this evening in Sedbergh School Thornely Studio.
