On Thursday 15th August, Robert Burton will be performing a saxophone recital in St. Andrew’s Church. Kimbolton. This will be like no other recital you’ve been to – he will share stories from his musical journey so far, and perform pieces which have been significant to him along the way. From starting playing at Spaldwick primary school, through to his BBC Young Musician success and studies at the Royal Academy of Music, this 1-hour performance will span pop, jazz, classical and contemporary music – something for everyone!
