Tenebrae concert

Our March event was a sell out, the second in a row. 200 patrons filled our lovely church. Tenebrae outdid themselves and our team of volunteers received many congratulations. The image is of rehearsals, hence the casual attire!
Carols by Candlelight a great success

Our Carols by Candlelight event in December was a sell out. Immense volume and quality of singing from the audience and an ethereal display of musicality from Continuum. We have already booked the Queens Choir for Sunday December 14th 2025, an event to look forward to.
Madame Butterfly at Bayham Abbey

Our event was a great success with record numbers attending. The opera was most excellent and , looking around, our guests were thoroughly enjoying eating and drinking at their picnic tables in the evening sun.
Ukraine Benefit Concert

Like many people, companies, and organisations throughout the world, the Lamberhurst Music Festival is appalled by the current situation in Ukraine, and wishes to help. We have therefore decided that all ticket proceeds from the Jeneba Kanneh-Mason concert on 13th May will go to the Disasters Emergency Committee’s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. In addition, we have…
Feedback from Kanneh-Masons concert

I had a lovely email from a member of the audience from the September 4th Kanneh-Masons concert. The email said: “Just a line to thank you for facilitating the utterly spellbinding evening with the Kanneh Mason family last night. We were entranced by the music, as well as the personal nature of the occasion, with…
Links to Kanneh-Masons CDs and books

During last night’s wonderful concert, I mentioned that the family had been unable to bring any merchandise with them, and that I would post links on our website. Sheku currently has two CDs available, ‘Inspiration’, which can be found here and ‘Elgar’ which can be found here. Isata also has two CDs available, ‘Romance’, a disk…
Kanneh-Masons awarded Best Classical Artists 2021

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…
Sheku and Isata Kanneh-Mason Concert Review

Friday 15th November 2019 saw a fantastic performance by two of the superstars of the classical world, Sheku and Isata Kanneh-Mason. The programme they created was varied and, in places, quite challenging. In particular, the ‘Grave’ by Witord Lutoslawski, was modern, and in places discordant, but was really brought to life by two young brilliant…
Familiar faces

We’ve been lucky over the years at Lamberhurst Music Festival to have some really good artists come to us. A forthcoming release sees 3 of our previous artists combine on 1 disc! On the 30th August 2019 Lisa Friend, Craig Ogden, and the Aquarelle Guitar Quartet will be releasing a CD they recorded late last…
Isata Kanneh-Mason album tops the Classical Chart

Photo credit Robin Clewley When we were booked Sheku Kanneh-Mason (back in 2018), his management team suggested that we would need a pianist to accompany him, and recommended his sister Isata. 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…
