About Us

Cossington Concerts was inaugurated in May 2002 by a group of Cossington residents led by the eminent music lexicographer, critic and authority on Mozart and Handel, Stanley Sadie CBE, who in 2000 retired from London to Somerset with his cellist-musicologist wife Julie.

The Sadies formed the Cossington Concert Trust to run a regular series of events, which take place between March and November, normally in St Mary the Virgin, the parish church of Cossington, in the Manor and the Manor Garden Theatre.

In 2006 Cyrus and Mary Clark became Patrons of Cossington Concerts.
