Jay RaynerIf classical music is of more interest, Stamford Arts Centre continues to offer its classical season every year. Alongside this, the arts centre will be hosting Stamford International Music Festival, which will take place between 18 and 20 May. The festival began in 2016 when violinist Freya Goldmark invited eight friends from music college to perform six concerts over a weekend in the heart of rural England. Since then, it has grown to become one of the most exciting cultural events in the area: exceptional chamber music, performed by some of the finest young musicians, in the beautiful historic town of Stamford. For more information on the programme and individual events please see the Stamford Arts Centre website.

In addition to entertainment offerings, don’t forget that the Stamford Arts Centre also offers workshops and classes in various art forms and is also available for room hire and amateur productions. The summer season at the arts centre will be announced very soon, so be sure to visit the venue for a brochure or view all events on the website www.stamfordartscentre.com.
