Brinkburn Music Festival update

Dates for 2010: 2 - 4 and 9 - 11 July

The 2009 Brinkburn Music Festival was as usual a huge success, featuring a varied programme of music, including some wonderful German Lieder from Mark Padmore and Sir Thomas Allen, the dynamic Carducci Quartet, lively Bach from Red Priest and the stunning Gabrieli Consort & Players.

See 2009 Festival for the full programme. We are now planning next year's festival with more fantastic music from acclaimed international musicians in the wonderful acoustic of Brinkburn Priory.

Watch this space for the latest programme information as soon as we have it.

If you haven't been to Brinkburn Music Festival yet, we hope that this site will give you a flavour of the festival and what we have to offer. Our festival of classical music is held at Brinkburn Priory in the heart of Northumberland for two weekends in July each year when we are privileged to welcome festival goers from across the UK, Europe and beyond.

Many of our long distance visitors are festival regulars. Some make the trip for a single concert, many more make an occasion of it by taking the opportunity between the two weekends to spend time exploring the beauty and history of Northumberland. There is much to see, a host of welcoming places to stay and splendid music to enjoy.

You will find us a friendly and welcoming festival. We are small enough to care - and we take pride in going the extra mile to make your visit enjoyable - but we're big enough to attract internationally acclaimed musicians to our stage.

We look forward to welcoming old friends back to Brinkburn Music Festival this summer, and to meeting some new ones.
