Music in Mayfield

Five of our team were in Mayfield last night to enjoy the Mayfield Festival Choir Autumn Concert in the beautiful setting of St Dunstan's Church. The concert was Antonin Dvorak's 'Stabat Mater', written as a time of the composer's life in his mid-30s, when his first three children had died within a space of two years. And, yet, the music manages to capture emotions ranging from fear, awe, fervour and patriotism to love, joy and triumph.

The conductor was Jeremy Summerly and the soloists Sofia Kirwan-Baez, Alexandria Moon, Edward Birchinall and Francis Melville.

The Mayfield Festival is taking place from 26 April to 10 May 2026 and we are looking forward to supporting it. In the meantime, we are proud to continue supporting families in Mayfield.
