Summer Concerts
Music in the Burnhams was formed as ‘Music in Thorpe’ in 2021 to promote
music of all genres through a series of concerts held initially in All Saints
Church, Burnham Thorpe, better known as Nelson’s Church.
They now hold their concerts in Burnham Market, in the Anglo Saxon Church Sutton cum Ulph, and in the beautiful village hall in Burnham Overy Staithe.
Music in the Burnhams is a non-profit making organisation and most concerts benefit the village primary school or the local church. They are particularly proud of their two-day workshop at the local school where the children are coached by graduate students from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London.
This culminates in a full-scale costumed performance staged at the school. Prior to the workshop most of the school are involved in the preparation of costumes, props or signage and include as many parents and children during on the night of the performance.
During the winter months (October to April), they also hold a number of informal Music Supper Clubs in the village hall in Burnham Market, where attendees are entertained by great musicians and enjoy a simple supper and a drink or two. Check back on their website for further details to be published in due course.
