Sedbergh’s sixth biennial Music festival will run from 4th to 20th June 2010. The programme covers a rich canvass of music and, while the main focus is upon the classical end of the musical spectrum, there is a breadth of performances which will take audiences from folk and blues through the classics to experimental music and electronic compositions. International artistes Emma Kirkby and Anthony Rooley will explore the classical tradition in English song and Carlo Curley, the “Pavarotti of the organ”, will give an audience inspired recital. Visiting choirs and soloists will sing works ranging from a Haydn Mass to songs by Gilbert and Sullivan. Instrumentalists, from those in the Town Band to individual soloists, will cover an equally diverse programme. We are extremely fortunate this year to have a wealth of young talent which will include soloists from Chethams, the BBC Radio 3 Youth Choir of the Year 2006 Amabile, the Westmorland Youth Orchestra, Sedbergh’s own Pepperpot Music Makers and the choirs of Sedbergh and Casterton Schools. Throughout the Festival there will be an interactive musical and visual experience in Saint Andrew’s Church and there will also be other exciting exploratory events.

The former Dent Folk Festival has been widely regarded as one of the best small folk festivals in the country, with a reputation for being very well organised and having a superb atmosphere. In 2009, after 6 years, this popular festival had outgrown its original site and moved to a new venue on a stunning site under the Howgill Fells at Sedbergh. Following the success of the 2009 festival it was decided to change its name to better reflect where the festival is now held. The festival is still organised by the same dedicated team, all that's changed is its name.

Full details and ticket prices will be available early in 2010 on the festival website.
