Sandy Burnett

 

Sandy Burnett is one of the UK’s most authoritative broadcasters in the field of classical music. His broadcasts, interviews and lectures are all underpinned by the hands-on experience of being a practising musician.
Since 2017, Sandy has been an accredited Arts Society lecturer, his talks aimed at unlocking the worlds of classical music and jazz to general arts-loving audiences.  His busy diary of speaking engagements takes him right across the world. After spending a season as the Academy of Ancient Music's Hogwood Fellow, in the spring of 2020 he set up an online Listening Club to explore great works of classical music; conceived as a lockdown project, it has built up an enthusiastic and loyal following. He leads cultural tours to music festivals everywhere from New Orleans to Leipzig, and Bath to Budapest. Having learned his trade from Martin Randall Travel, whose clients gave him a 100% approval rating, he currently works in close partnership with ACE Cultural Tours.
