Sedbergh Music Festival is anticipating a big turnout in 2024, having recorded its highest-ever advance ticket sales.
The spectacle, held biennially since 2000, runs from June 16 to 27 in the charming market town.
This year's 'ambitious schedule', announced in January, features global talents like the BBC Singers, considered to be amongst the world's 'finest' chamber choirs, and Ulverston-born Jess Gillam.
Having previously clinched the BBC Young Musician of the Year title, Ms Gillam now enjoys a blossoming career, touring locations such as the Sydney Opera House.
The festival launches on June 16 at 2pm with a complimentary 'Come & Sing' event at St Andrew’s Parish Church, where festival director John Seymour will conduct 'The Armed Man' by Karl Jenkins.
Tickets for all events are up for grabs on the festival’s website, www.sedberghmusicfestival.com.
