From violinist and director of St Leonards Concerts Max Baillie:
“My aim is to bring the kind of music-making audiences enjoy at top-level halls in London and further afield to my hometown of St Leonards on sea, and to present concerts in a way that feels inclusive and welcoming to seasoned concert-goers and new audiences alike. I programme both traditional and contemporary classical music, and also concerts drawing on links with folk music and jazz. A fundamental feature of St Leonards Concerts is the incredible musicianship of my guest musicians, including many international star performers. I want these events to attract concert-goers from the surrounding areas and to leave them and local audiences feeling elated, challenged, and inspired.”
