Bringing Classical Orchestral Concerts to Westmorland
Lakeland Sinfonia is the best orchestra in Westmorland and Furness and adjoining areas
Securing the future of world class orchestral music in Kendal
Following the successful conclusion of our 2023/24 concert season, thoughts are turning to
the future. We want to inform you about two exciting developments, which will secure a
bright future for orchestral music in Kendal and Westmorland for many years to come.
Firstly, from this Autumn, the Lakeland Sinfonia Orchestra will be running an expanded
season, under the title of ‘Lakeland Sinfonia Classics’ with the usual two concerts at the
Westmorland Hall plus additional ones at Kendal Town Hall, Kendal Parish Church, and
lunch-time recitals at a number of smaller venues around Westmorland.
Secondly, the beneficial long-term partnership we have had with Royal Northern
Sinfonia is being extended. For nearly 10 years they have programmed the highest
quality performances by visiting orchestras, with Lakeland Sinfonia Concert Society
bearing most of the financial risks. However, in a post-Covid world they are much
better placed than us to take on the considerable financial risks of concerts in Kendal
by Halle, BBC, RLPO etc. So, from the start of next season Royal Northern Sinfonia
will be taking over the running, ticketing and financial risks of managing the visiting
orchestras season, which they will describe as Kendal Classics in Association with
Lakeland Sinfonia.
These new arrangements will enable each organisation to concentrate on their strengths.
We will have the time and resources to further develop the Lakeland Sinfonia, which is
recognised as the premier regional orchestra. At the same time, Royal Northern Sinfonia will
bring superb concerts to Kendal featuring some of the best ensembles and artists from the
UK and around the world. We are expecting ticket pricing to be similar to what you are used to.
Details of the Lakeland Sinfonia Classics series to follow shortly
