Thirty five years, and still going strong! The Lakeland Sinfonia are proud to continue promoting live classical music here in Kendal. This forthcoming season they offer five orchestras and a host of conductors and soloists. Visit their website for more details or to obtain a brochure of events.
Mary Wakefield Westmorland Music Festival
This music festival is held every other year, (the next is planned for March 2011), runs for approximately 1 week and includes concerts, workshop days for children in both primary and secondary schools and adjudicated classes for instrumentalists, singers and choirs.
The Westmorland Orchestra is made up of over 60 dedicated amateur musicians drawn from Cumbria and North Lancashire who rehearse weekly in Kendal from September to May and give three public concerts a year. For large-scale works it also draws on the support of local professionals. It presents the full range of the established symphony concert repertoire, including newer, lesser-known works of the 20th century. It also actively supports and encourages young musicians embarking on a professional career.
