The matinee performance, starting at 4pm, incudes Mozart’s Overture to The Magic Flute, Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 and Schumann’s Symphony No. 2.
Both concerts include special ticket offers for under-19s and full-time students with £5 tickets available for Royal Northern Sinfonia and free entry for Westmorland Orchestra.
Lakeland Sinfonia chairman Charles Fox said: “Concert dates and programmes have had to be flexible in recent months because of the impact of COVID and that is how we have created such a busy but musically exciting March weekend in Kendal.
“We very much hope that regular concert-goers will use the reduced ticket offers as a reason to invite young people and make the most of these two varied programmes, both featuring rising star soloists.”
