Bringing Classical Orchestral Concerts to Westmorland
Welcome to Lakeland Sinfonia’s brilliant 2026-27 season of Orchestral Concerts, Live & Local recitals, and associated musical events taking place in Kendal, South Lakeland and beyond. We are very excited about our musical offering in the coming season and invite you to our top-quality concerts with leading conductors and soloists. All who have caught an early glimpse of our programmes have expressed a real interest in the repertoire and artists and marvelled at our initiatives in bringing niche Live & Local musical events to some of South Lakeland’s smaller, but equally deserving communities.
We welcome back Anna Castro Grinstein after her highly successful conducting debut last season, and we have invited another young prize-winning conductor, Canadian Riley Court-Wood, who is making international waves conducting Japan’s NHK Symphony Orchestra and the German Symphony Orchestra in Berlin. Wyn Davies is at the helm for our final concert, which celebrates the bicentenary of Beethoven’s death with a performance of his wonderful Violin Concerto with highly talented Cristian de Sá as soloist. One of Britain’s top wind instrumentalists, our very own Ursula Leveaux, plays Mozart’s Bassoon Concerto, Dominic Degavino, who delighted listeners previously, performs Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto in D minor, and oboist Anna Powell performs a French rarity, “The Flower Clock”, by Jean Françaix. Lakeland Sinfonia needs you to play your part in our continuing story, for without your participation, Kendal and South Lakeland could be denied the continued presence of an outstanding ensemble that has served this region with distinction. We are proud of our recent notable achievements, including an ongoing, highly successful education project, which has been supported financially by the Cumbria Community Foundation through the Catherine Alexander Grassroots Fund. Please get in touch with us by email (contact@ lakelandsinfonia.org.uk) if you would like to become a Patron, sponsor the orchestra by making a donation or help the orchestra by becoming a Trustee or a Volunteer. Do come and support us, and please spread the word. I’m sure that you won’t be disappointed!
