## Now in its eighth year the Lewes Chamber Music Festival (LCMF) has developed into a major musical event with a reputation for world-class performers and outstanding concerts.

**THIS year for** the first time Brighton Fringe audiences will have the opportunity to hear first hand what makes the festival so special in a one-off concert at the Unitarian Church in Brighton on May 15.

**LCMF Artistic Director, Beatrice Philips said:** *“we are so excited to be taking our work to the Brighton Fringe for the first time this year, I believe passionately in making quality chamber music available to everyone and I think that the fringe is the perfect event for us to do this. We are also really pleased to be playing the music of the little-known Guillaume Lekeu alongside favourites by Mozart and Fauré.”*

The concert will give the Brighton audience a taster of what is to come on the main festival in June which will have a distinctively French flavour, exploring works by **Fauré**, **Pierné**, **Dutilleaux**, **Debussy** and **Ravel** amongst others.

The festival often includes unjustly neglected musical works, such as the piece by **Lekeu** included in this concert, to be played alongside old favourites from the chamber music repertoire.
