King’s Lynn Festival’s 75th anniversary extravaganza is now firmly on the horizon.
The two-week summer event is set to transform historic venues across this west Norfolk town, with some 40 events spanning classical music, jazz and folk, as well as dance, theatre, visual art, talks, walks and more.
Highlights include siblings Isata (pictured) and Braimah Kanneh-Mason and on 18 July Academy of Ancient Music and violinist director Bojan Čičić will present The Art of the Italian Concerto at St Nicholas’ Chapel, with music from Vivaldi, Corelli and Locatelli. Virtuoso pianist Boris Giltburg will present a programme featuring the Bach/Busoni Chaconne in D minor, Liszt’s Sonata in B minor and Ravel’s visionary Gaspard de la nuit on 21 July at The Minster and chart-topping guitarist Craig Ogden will bring a vibrant Fantasy to Flamenco programme to the Town Hall on 22 July.
The festival takes place from 12 to 25 July; tickets and information are available at kingslynnfestival.org.uk
