Leith Hill Music Festival: Dorking Classical Music in April

Choral music features prominently this month in Dorking, with the three-day Leith Hill Musical Festival at Dorking Halls.

This year’s Leith Hill Festival is the final one for Brian Kay, the festival conductor for the past 21 years, so it will be a very special occasion for him and also for the hundreds of singers who have enjoyed rehearsals and concerts under his baton. 

For his final three festival concerts, the main works are:

• Haydn’s Harmoniemesse & Vaughan Williams’ beautiful Serenade to Music – April 14
• Schubert’s Mass in G and Purcell’s Come ye sons of art away – April 15
• Grand finale: Verdi’s magnificent and monumental Requiem – April 16

If you haven’t already got your tickets for the last night, I’m sorry but it was sold out long ago! Don't worry, thought – there's other classical music elsewhere in the area. Check below.
