The 43rd Festival of Music and Art will get underway in Burton Bradstock in August.
A spokesperson for the event said: “There is now a huge buzz of activity behind the scenes by dozens of volunteers to bring this very popular feature of the Dorset summer calendar to a perfect pitch.
“Concerts are always extremely well attended and, this year, with lunchtime, evening and late night concerts, should be no different.
“There will be six days of classical, jazz and international music from August 10-15 with acclaimed performers offers something for every musical taste. All concerts are held in the lovely St. Mary’s Parish Church.
David Juritz, the Festival’s Artistic Director said: “This the real star of the week – the perfect venue for relaxed but brilliant music”.
“There will be music you love and music that will enchant you and surprise you. Notable music anniversaries this year include Maurice Ravel and Georges Bizet, who were born and died respectively 150 years ago, and the jazz legend Oscar Peterson born on 15 August, 1925, six weeks after the death of Erik Satie.”
Full details of the programme are available on the festival website.

The Festival’s Art Exhibition, which runs from 10 to 17 August 10-17, will be held as usual in the village hyall.
This is an opportunity to view a very high standard of art in various media by leading south western artists.
It is an affordable art show which offers a chance to buy a lovely interpretation in oil of the wonderful Dorset landscape, or a piece of jewellery, or cards to take away as a small souvenir of a memorable staycation.
An added bonus is that visitors can talk to the artists who take it turn to act as stewards.
Entry is free and details can too be found on the festival website:
