New concerts series from King's Lynn Festival organisers

King's Lynn Festival supporters will not have to wait until next summer to enjoy the festival's top-quality performances as they can look forward to special music events during the coming months.

The Three Seasons is the title of a series of five concerts being staged by Lynn Festival between October and April, beginning with a visit by the renowned London Mozart Players with pianist Daniel de Borah on October 10.

Lynn Festival's artistic director, Ambrose Miller, has vast experience in the classical music world and spots up-and-coming musicians such as Daniel who was invited to perform at one of the coffee concerts during the 2006 festival.

'We think we are pretty good at spotting a rising star at Lynn Festival and it is very satisfying to see Daniel de Borah, who was a big success at the coffee concert, now making such an international career,' said Mr Miller.

The Australian pianist is in

great demand as a recitalist and concerto soloist and is returning to the UK this autumn to give debut concerts with the English Chamber Orchestra and London Mozart Players.

On October 10 at Lynn Corn Exchange, the programme will include Grieg's Holberg Suite, Mozart's Piano Concerto No 13, Barber's Adagio for Strings and Dvorak's Serenade for Strings.

Subscription tickets are available for the series which continues on November 21 with the Sitkovetsky Piano Trio at the Guildhall of St George.

On December 5, John Lill, the leading British pianist of his generation and a favourite among Lynn Festival audiences, will be at the Corn Exchange to present a programme of music by Haydn, Schumann, Chopin and Liszt.

In the spring, the Finzi Quartet and Southbank Sinfonia will complete the series.
