About this concert
As the sun sets on the solstice weekend, the Mercury-nominated artist brings a special performance to the magical setting of the forested amphitheatre at Thorington.
There could be no more wonderful setting for an evening with Sam Lee – whose work and craft are so infused with nature and folklore – than the idyllic woodland theatre at Thorington. Events there proceed whatever the weather, and while the trees offer some protection from sun and rain, it is exhilarating to experience music in such close connection with the natural world.
Sam – a former Snape residency artist and a much-loved member of the Britten Pears Arts family – will be coming straight from his Summer Solstice gig at Stonehenge, the perfect prelude to this light late evening of heart-warming music.
