AUTUMN IN MALVERN
Stanbrook Abbey, Great Hall
Patron Countess Dr Inga Lewenhaupt (former Chair of the Jenny Lind Society of Sweden)
A Celebration of Women’s Voices
Directed by Lynne Lindner with Anwen Mai Thomas (harp) and Tim Sidford (piano)
The Jenny Lind Singers is a group of talented local female singers, well known for the exploration of new music, especially by women and local composers, including the award-winning Liz Dilnot Johnson and Kate Hill. The group is named after the renowned ‘Swedish Nightingale’ Jenny Lind.
For their 2026 Autumn in Malvern concert, the Jenny Lind Singers have chosen the beautiful setting of the Great Hall at Stanbrook Abbey, home to an order of Benedictine nuns from 1838 to 2009. With its high vaulted ceiling, and fine acoustic, this is a wonderful example of the dramatic Victorian gothic revival style of Pugin, with lovely stained-glass windows and a stunning East Rose Window.
