Welcome to Sheepdrove for an all-French evening of music, food and wine, designed to celebrate Debussy's 150th Anniversary and herald the forthcoming Sheepdrove Piano Competition, which takes place over the same weekend in the Oak Room with its soaring, vaulted Cathedral-like ceiling and excellent acoustics.
Regular jury member Mikhail Kazakevich was born in Russia and shot to international fame at the International Schubert Competition in Dortmund in 1991. He has since performed as a soloist with major orchestras in prestigious venues and at festivals all over Europe, Russia, SE Asia and the Middle East.
His programme tonight will include L'isle Joyeuse and the Second Book of Images by Debussy and the Sonatines of both Ravel and Roussel.
The pre-concert supper sourced from ingredients from the surrounding Sheepdrove Farm will be prepared by the celebrated French chef, Eric Treuillé.
