Aspiring Young Musicians Series

The Yarn Market Hotel launched on Sunday 5th October 2025, the first in a series of Sunday afternoon performances by Aspiring Young Musicians. It is held on the first Sunday of every winter month and is unique concert series showcasing the talent of young performers at the start of their musical journey. Each month, a carefully selected instrumentalist or vocalist will share their passion and skill in an intimate performance setting at the Yarn Market Hotel.

Our aim is to support emerging artists and give audiences the chance to enjoy high-quality live music in the heart of historic Dunster. Join us in nurturing the next generation of musical stars.

Antony Brunt, the proprietor of the hotel, has said that the Westcountry has some wonderful talent, both vocal and instrumental, in our Aspiring Young Musicians, and we should be supporting them in any way we can. They all spend countless hours in practice and rehearsals, always trying to improve the standard of their performance and the least we can do is to support them.

On Sunday the 1st of February, Ginevra Dobson, a hugely talented vocalist will be performing at The Yarn Market Hotel.

Ginevra was offered a place in Exeter Cathedral Choir at the age of 6 and sang there for over 5 years under the direction of Timothy Noon, attending Exeter Cathedral School. In her final year, Ginevra shared the Smith prize for girl chorister solo work. Ginevra is now a Music Scholar at Blundell’s School, performing in their wide range of musical ensembles.

Her solo performances have included Bach St. John Passion at Exeter Cathedral, and Mozart’s Requiem and Vivaldi’s Gloria in Blundell’s Chapel. Ginevra was one of the winners of the 2023 Two Moors Festival Young Musicians Competition and is part of the Blundell’s School Hurford Trio who reached the final of the 2025 Pro Corda Festival.

The Yarn Market Hotel is delighted to welcome back Ginevra who will perform a selection of pieces on the theme “Music through time” which takes you from the elegance of Baroque music to much-loved modern classics.

The performance includes a Champagne or Somerset apple juice reception from 4.30pm. The recital lasts approximately one hour.
