(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - June 1st, 2012 - What will be the inaugural Brathay Festival of Music will take place between the 1st and 4th of June within the serenity of Brathay Church in the Lake District. With a great line-up of musicians and artists already secured the Brathay Festival of Music is sure to have a bright future as it joins the collection of events that will make up the Music at Brathay series.

The Lake District is one of Britain’s most picturesque regions and the Brathay Festival of Music certainly adheres to the soothing and natural aspects of the surrounding countryside. The Fitzwilliam String Quartet will bring their own take on 20th century music which is heavily associated with the work of Dmitri Shostakovich, whilst performances by Chinese guitarist Xuefei Yang and a cappella group Voces8 will add to the international pedigree of the event.

The Brathay Festival of Music will conclude with a special performance by Martin Roscoe. A pianist, soloist and world-renowned recitalist, the inaugural Brathay Festival of Music will be closed by a performance by one of the premiere musicians in the UK.

Those planning attend should book early as seating capacity in Brathay Church is limited. Similarly, those who don’t live local will want to book accommodation as soon as possible as the summer months are the peak times for hotels in the Lake District. Millions of visitors a year travel to the Lake District for its world renowned natural beauty and a slice of the pristine British countryside.
