South Downs Summer Music is taking place in Alfriston between 15 and 20 July. A celebration of music and community, the festival is known and loved for its laid-back, friendly atmosphere and ambitious and varied programming, ranging this year from audience favourites such as Elgar’s Serenade for Strings, Britten’s Simple Symphony through works of recently re-discovered female and minority composers Fanny Mendelssohn and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor to classical pieces inspired by Scandinavian folk music, English sea shanties and Jelly Roll Morton.
