1. Opening Concert (£16)

  • St John Sub Castro Lewes, BN7 2PU United Kingdom (map)

Welcome to the Festival 2016! The opening concert explores Hungarian music from Liszt and Dohnanyi to Bartok, whose music will appear in programmes throughout the Festival. We welcome horn player Martin Owen to Lewes, to join Festival musicians in Dohnanyi's magnificent and rarely performed piano sextet.

A special soirée for the Friends, Patrons and artists of LCMF will follow this concert. Location will be revealed on invitation...
