Ludlow Assembly Rooms

The fifth triennial Ludlow English Song Weekend, under the artistic direction of Iain Burnside, will run from 30 May to 2 June and will include a wide range of English songs in nine recitals by some of the country’s leading singers. There will be premieres of works by Julian Philips and Brian Elias and performances of two previously unpublished works by Finzi, written for baritone and organ. The weekend will be packed with events including Master Classes, Young Musicians Recitals, talks, films, discussions and performances by the winners of the national young composers’ competition.

Events take place in the elegant Assembly Rooms as well as the Parish Church in this beautiful border town, where A.E. Housman’s ashes are buried.
