From Beethoven to gypsy jazz and Jane Austen to the Tour de France, this year’s Sherborne Abbey Festival is an eclectic mix of music and performance.
WITH a clutch of awards for Tourism Event of the Year and a stellar line-up of world class performers you know the Sherborne Abbey Music Festival will be something special. The Festival, which runs from 28 April – 2 May, is also unique in that 70% of all performances are free entry, making it one of Dorset’s most accessible music events.
Now in its 18th season, this year’s programme is packed with over 25 exciting and adventurous performances. The acclaimed vocal ensemble Tenebrae celebrate some of the finest choral works from the Renaissance through to the present day, in A Hymn of Heavenly Beauty. Acclaimed violinist, classic BRIT winner and former BBC Young Musician of the Year, Nicola Benedetti, performs Bold & Beautiful Beethoven, accompanied by the Iuventus Chamber Orchestra led by Ruth Rogers.
