2016 Ulverston International Music Festival 8 - 19...

2016Ulverston InternationalMusic Festival8 - 19 June

Welcome

It gives me great pleasure to announce our programme for UIMF 2016. I hope you'll agree that we have put together a fabulous feast of music over the course of ten days.

The Festival opener heralds the welcome return of English Touring Opera to the Coronation Hall. Songs of a very different nature follow hot on its heels with mesmerising vocalist Julia Biel, and the vocal theme continues, first with a ’barbershop’ quartet courtesy of the multi award-winning Reckless, and then with our choral concert 'The Rio Grande'. A quartet of the stringed variety (Navarra String Quartet) ushers in two concerts at the historic Swarthmoor Hall, and the opening weekend ends on a high with Ulverston’s very own star saxophonist, Jess Gillam.

We are very fortunate that TV celebrity Alistair McGowan - a keen pianist - brings his brand new production on the life of eccentric French composer Erik Satie, in the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth. This year's ‘Celebrity Recitalist’ Jennifer Pike is also well known to TV viewers as the youngest ever BBC Young Musician of the Year.

An important aspect of each Festival is fostering emerging artists: young virtuoso Russian pianist Alexander Panfilov performs in our 'Rising Star' concert; our 'Family Concert' has a culinary twist with ‘Bake a Musical Cake'; talented young soprano Raphaela Papadakis has put together a beautiful and diverse range of songs inspired by familiar Shakespearean characters in 'Shakespeare in Song', and the Haffner Orchestra pay further homage to the nation's favourite bard in a programme of popular works accompanied by extracts from the relevant plays, read by local school-children.

I'm thrilled to be performing Brahms's monumental Piano Concerto no. 1, after being forced to withdraw last year due to injury. Back by popular demand, the Festival reaches its grand climax with ENTango. However, before we sign off for another year, do come along on Sunday June 19 for a special day of participation and music-making by talented amateurs - all in aid of St. Mary's Hospice. The icing on the cake is a special appearance by Jess Gillam in the final concert of the Festival.

We hope you'll find plenty in our programme to whet your appetite. One thing is for sure: when the fat lady sings, the Festival will only have just begun!

Olivier Award-winning English Touring Opera returns to the Coronation Hall as part of Ulverston International Music Festival, bringing a complete opera experience with large cast and 25-piece live orchestra.

Mozart’s Don Giovanni is one of the best-loved of all operas, with a dramatic story and ravishing music. Part thriller, part dark comedy, it’s the provocative tale of a womaniser whose conquests come back to haunt him.

For some, the title character is a hero who defies all authority. For others, he’s a villain, a faker and a murderer. But whichever way you are pulled, Mozart and Da Ponte’s masterpiece is a musical and dramatic whirlwind – from the first bars of magnificent score to the chilling supernatural conclusion.

Directed by Lloyd Wood, who has worked on hit musicals including Gypsy and Sweeney Todd for Chichester Festival Theatre.

English Touring Opera is the UK’s leading touring opera company, performing high quality live opera in more than 20 towns and cities each year. It performs in costume, with a fully professional cast and orchestra, and won an Olivier Award in 2014 for productions of British operas by Benjamin Britten and Michael Tippett.

Sung in English with surtitles.

In a new (work-in-progress) show on the 150th anniversary of Satie's birth, Alistair McGowan brings both the words and music of this Belle Epoque eccentric to the stage.

The Royal Northern Sinfonia has built a distinctive reputation as a fresh-thinking and versatile orchestra, performing with a trademark zest and stylistic virtuosity. As one of the leading chamber orchestras in the country, this is the orchestral highlight of the Festival.

Christopher Warren-Green conducts Schumann’s third symphony, ‘Rhenish’, a work which was inspired by Schumann’s visit to the Rhineland. Although not intended as a programmatic composition, the second movement is a musical depiction of the flowing River Rhine, and the symphony as a whole is modelled on Beethoven’s 'Pastoral'.

The Festival’s Artistic Director, Anthony Hewitt, joins the orchestra as soloist for Johannes Brahms’ Piano Concerto no. 1. Recognised as one of Brahms’ greatest compositional triumphs, his first piano concerto combines virtuoso passage-work with rich orchestral textures, and is one of the leading works of the piano concerto repertoire.

Formed at the Festival in 2012, ENTango offer a new take on the relationship between musicians and dancers, in that they intermingle and become ENTangled on stage. The intimacy and powerful energy of chamber music fuses with the passion and sensuality of Tango. Rather than being incidental to the dance, the trio of musicians are placed in the centre of the visual action, and the dancers weave their steps around them and touch shoulder to shoulder amidst the moving sound waves.

The spiritual core of ENTango is Argentinian bandoneonist Eduardo Garcia who writes his own arrangements of Piazzolla and other Tango composers.
