LEWES FESTIVAL OF SONG
Lewes Festival of Song is an annual three day celebration of classical song featuring performers with an international reputation, as well as younger generation musicians and those on the brink of their careers. Concerts are also sometimes arranged for the spring and / or autumn. The Festival takes place in St. Anne's Church, Lewes, for which we are fund-raising to provide a new piano.
