LEWES BAROQUEFEST 2025

We are so delighted to offer our sixth Lewes Baroquefest, from 17 to 19 July 2025. To bring live music to our wonderful town, which has such a strong vocal and instrumental tradition and plethora of international musicians, is a true pleasure and honour.  

Our five concerts this year include a vocal recital by Rebecca Leggett (mezzo soprano) and Hugh Cutting (countertenor) with Daniel Murphy (lute); chamber recitals by Flutes and Frets: Beth Stone (flutes) and Daniel Murphy (lute); Piers Adams (recorder) and David Wright (harpsichord); Richard Tunnicliffe (solo cello); and our final concert, Handel's Dixit Dominus, J S Bach’s Double Violin Concerto and Magnificat, with the Baroque Collective Singers and The Baroque Collective directed by John Hancorn.
