Haydn’s Gypsy Rondo at King's Lynn Minster

King’s Lynn Festival organisers could not stage the high profile 70th Festival they planned for July this year but are determined to mark the milestone by enabling supporters to enjoy top quality music performed in the town’s stunning venues.

The festival’s national reputation for the high quality of its programmes is closely associated with the town’s outstanding historic buildings where concerts are staged. Three venues – the Minster, All Saints Church and the Town Hall - provide the setting for six concerts recorded without audiences to comply with Covid restrictions.

The Festival produced a virtual celebration of its 70th anniversary in the summer, and recently have recorded performances by top-flight musicians in Lynn’s wonderful historic buildings - and will soon stream a series of concerts on-line.

The performances can be viewed through the festival website – www.kingslynnfestival.org.uk – and YouTube. Links are also available on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

The fifth concert, to be released on February 18, will feature Alison Crum and Roy Marks and the series will conclude with Steven Devine’s Piano Trio performing Haydn’s Gypsy Rondo to be released on March 11.

Festival artistic director Ambrose Miller said: “The concerts will offer a veritable cocktail of a programme with wonderful performances by international artists in three splendid historic venues which play a key role in the appeal of Lynn Festival.”
