About
Lewes Baroquefest presents its seventh annual festival from 15 to 18 July 2026, featuring six professional concerts from top baroque performers and culminating in Handel’s Acis & Galatea.
To bring live music to our wonderful town, which has such a strong vocal and instrumental tradition and plethora of international musicians, is a true pleasure and honour.
Our six concerts this year include baroque arias with Charles Humphries (countertenor), Julia Bishop (violin) and David Wright (keyboards); Celtic and bray harp with Jean Kelly; C17th Theatre Music with Alison Bury & Julia Bishop (violins), Annette Isserlis (viola) and Catherine Rimer (cello); lute song with Charlotte La Thrope (soprano), Hugo Hymas (countertenor) and lutenist Kristiina Watt; and Flauguissimo Duo Yu-Wei Hu (baroque flute) and Johan Löfving (theorbo); and our final concert, Handel's Acis & Galatea, with soloists Nick Pritchard (tenor), Elspeth Piggott (soprano), Joseph Taylor (tenor) and Andrew Davies (baritone), the Baroque Collective Singers and The Baroque Collective directed by John Hancorn.
