Welcoming our new General Manager Sarah Rennix

We are pleased to announce that Sarah Rennix will be joining the Southwell Music Festival team as our new General Manager.

Sarah will be taking over the General Manager role from Flynn Le Brocq, who has recently joined London Mozart Players as Chief Executive.

Sarah is a passionate singer, arts producer and education specialist having read music at Durham University and recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Education in Arts and Cultural Settings at King’s College London.

She has managed the education programmes for a number of high-profile professional ensembles including Britten Sinfonia and The Sixteen, where she coordinated the Genesis Sixteen young artist programme and set up the Sounds Sublime Festival for emerging ensembles. Sarah is also a trustee for SANSARA Choir and the SouthWestFest. In her spare time, she enjoys a chilly morning dip in the English Channel and is finally learning what all the buttons on her camera do.

Chair of Southwell Music Festival, Thomas du Plessis said of Sarah’s appointment:

I am delighted to welcome Sarah to the position of General Manager at Southwell Music Festival. Sarah’s wealth of experience in arts administration, music and education will be invaluable to the Festival in the next stage of its evolution. I cannot wait to introduce Sarah to the special community of supporters, friends, artists and donors that Southwell Music Festival enjoys so much and am already looking forward to our next week of fantastic music in August later this year.

We look forward to welcoming Sarah to the Southwell Music Festival team very soon.
