ST DENYS MUSIC FESTIVAL 2022

A wonderful season of music-making awaits this autumn beginning on Saturday 3rd September at 3pm with a recital by two very talented young musicians: Erica Lees-Smith and Charlotte Bradley. Both are 18 years old and have strong Evington connections with Charlotte’s grandparents being local residents while Erica grew up in Evington attending Linden Primary and Judgemeadow before going on to study music at English Martyrs Catholic School and sing with the Leicester Cathedral Choir as well as the Leicestershire Chorale.  Both have studied music to a high level and enjoy performing.

Their programme will include music on recorder, saxophone, piano and voice. Tea and cake will be available.

The first ever St Denys Music Festival is both a way to bring the community together around the creative arts and raise funds to support the maintenance of one of the oldest and most iconic buildings in Evington.
