I trust that you have kept safe during the most recent lockdown, and hope that, like me, you have an optimistic view for the coming months. As I write this on the evening of 13th April, the government’s roadmap out of lockdown continues with pace. Pubs and shops are now open to a limited degree, and […]
Our artists for the September 2021 concert, the Kanneh-Mason family, have been awarded Best Classical Artists for 2021 by Global. We are not overly surprised as they were an inspiration to the nation during the first lockdown, performing regularly from their hallway, garden, or street! They almost made the superb Carnival of the Animals album […]
I thought I would share with you updates of what is happening to the 2020 season, and also some links and information regarding our artists, past and present. Currently, we are all under quarantune/lockdown and no concerts will be taking place. We will cancel as soon as it is no longer possible to stage them, […]
Friday 15th November 2019 saw a fantastic performance by two of the superstars of the classical world, Sheku and Isata Kanneh-Mason.

On the 30th August 2019 Lisa Friend, Craig Ogden, and the Aquarelle Guitar Quartet will be releasing a CD they recorded late last […]

Little did we know at that time how Isata’s career was going to take off. Iasata, 23, is currently atop the classical charts with […]
DEBUT Opera – Conquests of Love – 3rd August 2019 DEBUT came to Bayham Old Abbey and performed their wonderful new opera ‘Conquests of Love’ to huge acclaim. Here are a number of photos of the evening.
Photo Credit Lars Borges A few tickets are still available for Sheku’s concert next year. I don’t think I can add anything to this utterly moving and poignant performance.
This year’s opera at Bayham Old Abbey was Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte, and was presented by Northwest England’s Heritage Opera. This opera buffa was given the full comedic treatment by the performers and the English libretto was brilliant (and rather risky) in places. One of the leading men, Nick Sales who played Ferrando, was unable […]

Priced at £10 each, these will be available for collection on the day. These can be found on the Cosi fan tutte page […]
