SUMMARY:Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nTo close this year’s Festival we are delighted to welcome back the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Stephen Barlow. \nStephen Barlow is well known to Festival audiences but is especially known as an operatic conductor. He is joined by Claire Barnett-Jones\, for a performance of Wagner’s Wesendonk Leider\, his only song cycle\, a setting of poems by his mistress Mathilde Wesendonk which were composed during the height of their passionate love affair\, at the same time as Tristan und Isolde. Like the opera\, the songs are incredibly beautiful and filled with fiery longing and passionate desire. \nAfter the interval\, we will hear Sibelius’ Symphony No. 2\, building on the cycle which started in 2022 with Symphony No. 5 and last year with Symphony No. 1. The second symphony is full of Finnish national character which Sibelius himself described as “a struggle between death and salvation” and “a confession of the soul”.  \nSponsored by\nMrs Rosamond Brown\nKilfinan Trust \nPerformers\n\n\n\nClaire Barnett-Jones mezzo soprano\nStephen Barlow conductor \n(NB Christine Rice is unfortunately unwell so is unable to sing\, we’re grateful to Claire Barnett-Jones for agreeing to replace her.) \nTickets\n£50 / £35 / £25\n(includes £1.25 Corn Exchange booking fee per ticket)\nFree for Under 30s \n

SUMMARY:Tim Kliphuis
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nDjango meets Mussorgsky\nAward-winning Dutch violinist Tim Kliphuis has created a new style embracing classical\, gypsy-jazz and folk. Hailed as a ‘current-day improvising Paganini’\, his inclusive and innovative approach has thrilled audiences and is influencing a new generation of string players. \nFounded in 2006\, Tim’s trio combines jaw-dropping virtuosity with mesmerising improvisations and presents a genre-bending mix of musical styles; Tim shows his roots through classical repertoire and his love for French gypsy-jazz maestro Stéphane Grappelli; guitarist Nigel Clark brings his background in Celtic folk into the mix and contemporary techniques\, while bassist Roy Percy’s sound recalls the street music of New Orleans. \n\n \n\nProgramme\nMussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition\nDjango Reinhardt and others a selection of gypsy jazz favourites \nPerformers\n\n\n\nTim Kliphuis violin\nNigel Clark guitar\nRoy Percy bass \nTickets\n£25\n(includes £1.25 Corn Exchange booking fee per ticket)\nFree for under 30s \n
