The North Norfolk Music Festival
United Kingdom
tbc nights from £tbc per person
We will be back in North Norfolk for the 2027 North Norfolk Music Festival, the 22nd edition of the Festival started by Simon Rowland-Jones and Barry Cheeseman. The Festival has been enjoyed by our clients since the start, and after a well-deserved break last year, this year's programme is typically innovative and brings together a tempting combination of established musicians and bright young stars who are well on their way to distinguished careers.
Double Bass
Levi Andreassen
Levi Andreassen comes from Tulsa, Oklahoma. He came to England at the age of 15 to study at the Yehudi Menuhin School with Caroline Emery, with whom he still studies at the Royal College of Music.
String Quartet
Fibonacci Quartet
The Fibonacci Quartet was formed at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and includes players from four countries: The Netherlands, Scotland, the Czech Republic and England.
String Quartet
Doric String Quartet
Alex Redington, violin; Ying Xue, violin; Helene Clement, viola; John Myerscough, cello. The Doric String Quartet was introduced to Kirker audiences back in 2005. Since then they have performed on many of our exclusive Festivals both on land and at sea. They memorably played WaltonÕs String Quartet at the Kirker Ischia Music Festival at La Mortella in Ischia with Susana Walton being visibly moved sitting in the front row.
Piano
Melvyn Tan
Born in Singapore in 1956, Melvyn Tan came to England at a very young age to study at the Yehudi Menuhin School in Surrey. There he studied with Nadia Boulanger, Vlado Perlemuter and Marcel Ciampi. They all inspired his lifelong passion for French music. He has circled the globe giving solo recitals and as a soloist with the world’s leading orchestras and conductors in major concert halls and festivals everywhere – Salzburg, Edinburgh, City of London Festivals, Lincoln Center, Wigmore Hall, Edinburgh and Salzburg to name just a few.
