Classical Concerts with International Musicians

Burford Lenthall Concerts

The Lenthall Concerts have been bringing music of outstanding quality to West Oxfordshire since 1992. Under the direction of Michael Bochmann, each winter season of six concerts brings a mixture of internationally established artists to Burford.

This year we are delighted to welcome musicians from across the UK and we look forward to a varied programme of exceptional quality.
