About

Concerts in the West was launched in 2006. We aim to bring talented young professional musicians to small, intimate venues in the West Country, in areas that may not have easy access to music of this quality. Nine short intensive tours per year are arranged mainly in Bridport, Dorset and Ilminster and Crewkerne in Somerset.

The repertoire is enormously varied and gives local audiences a wonderful opportunity to hear both familiar and unusual works for voice and instrument in many combinations.

2025 is Concerts in the West's 20th Season. We will celebrate with Ensemble Hesperi, Alasdair Beatson, Mikeleiz-Zucchi Duo, Trio Anima, Mathis Rochat & Erdem Mısırlıoğlu, Colin Scobie & JĆ¢ms Coleman, Mitsu Trio, VOICE, and the Consone Quartet.
