The Sussex English Music Festival | Duncan Honeybourne

We are delighted to announce that the English Music Festival is playing its part in restarting music-making in the UK and that our Autumn Festival will be going ahead this year. We have been very aware of the plight of musicians in this country, so many of whom have lost so much work and, therefore, income since concerts stopped in March, and we have been deeply concerned about the future of concerts and live music in the wake of the lockdown. We are therefore doing what we can to rectify matters by arranging events, starting with an Autumn Festival at St Mary’s Church in Horsham, Sussex.

Duncan Honeybourne enjoys a colourful and diverse career as a pianist and in music education. Reviews have commended his “glittering performances” and “suave confidence”, “terrific intensity and touches of panache”, and “intellectual and physical stamina”. His recital for the Autumn English Music Festival explores works and composers with strong connections to Sussex and thus forms a perfect complement to the setting of St Mary’s Church.
