Since the first festival in July 2005, Budleigh Music Festival began offering live classical music to the local community and developing a real reputation for attracting distinguished artists to the festival which lasts throughout July, with both paid evening concerts and free daily-time recitals and concerts too.
Many exceptional artists and ensembles from the classical music world have attended the Budleigh Salterton Festival including Florilegium, King’s Singers and the New Devon Opera Company. In the years between 2005 and 2012 festival goers have enjoyed full performances of Verdi and Puccini operas as well as original compositions and many famous pieces from the canon of classical music.
The lunchtime concerts are a hugely important part of the festival as they allow talented local performers to enjoy free concerts, with even semi-professional and professional musicians now getting involved.
