Summer Music Festival, Brean, Saturday 3rd August midday to 7pm

Brean’s historic Grade 2 listed Church St Bridget’s was last year threatened with possible closure. A group of concerned Brean villagers (both churchgoers and not) formed the “Friends of St Bridget’s” to fundraise to ensure closure did not happen, assisted by several local businesses.

After successful music concerts inside the church last year, this year’s events include a ‘Summer Music Festival’, to be held on the ‘Market Field’ at Warren Farm Holiday Park.

Three live acts will perform including: Beat Route Jam performing their immaculate “Sounds of the 60’s - Before and After” concert, Theresa Alexander performing an incredible eclectic range of chart hits from the 60s to present day, and also Six Machine who celebrate world famous artists including Bruno Mars, Adele, Elton John, The Bee Gees, Guns 'n' Roses and The Killers to name but a few. Additionally a DJ will ensure continuity of music throughout the event.

A bar with will be open, plus food and soft drinks from vendors on site.

Tickets are £10 Adults (18 years and over), £5 Children and Free entry for young children (Under 1.2m height).

Ticket numbers are restricted to 500 in total and are available in advance from the Friends via 07733 031564 (Richard) or 07988 601378 (Pat), or on the gate from 11.30am onwards.

1 WEEK TODAY - The Mid Somerset Orchestra presents
GRIEG PIANO CONCERTO Live at Strode Theatre 🎭

Saturday 6th July 7.30pm
Tickets here 🎟 https://www.strodetheatre.org.uk/whats-on/view/grieg-piano-concerto/

Mozart - Overture to The Magic Flute
Grieg - Piano Concerto
Nielsen - Symphony No. 1

The Mid-Somerset Orchestra is delighted to be joined by internationally acclaimed piano soloist Vital Stahievitch* for a performance of Grieg's piano concerto. Written in 1868, the concerto is one of the most well-known in the repertoire and is an enduring feature in the Classic FM Hall of Fame. This will follow an exuberant opening to the concert with the overture to Mozart’s final opera The Magic Flute.

In the second half of the concert we continue the Scandinavian theme, moving from a Norwegian to a Danish composer. Carl Nielsen completed the first of his six symphonies in 1892. It is a very accessible and melodic symphony with a distinctive Danish flavour, and deserves to be performed much more frequently.
