Become a Friend of GLOSSOP MUSIC FESTIVAL

As we think forward to next season, Glossop Music Festival is undoubtedly going to take a new artistic direction. I will miss Tom, Katherine, their wonderful children, and their wider family, immensely. Working with Tom these past few years has been a total joy - an indecent amount of fun, in fact! The musical rewards have been phenomenal - the warmth of the friendship has surpassed them.

I remain so excited about music making in Glossop and, as a relative newcomer, am still amazed by the huge number of talented musicians living in the area. I have been having inspiring chats with many of those people about the future direction of the Festival. The discussions will continue with our fabulous team of trustees, and we will share more with you in due course.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my wonderful father, Mike Bull, for his unstinting support, passion and commitment to both Tom and I, and to the Festival. He is the most brilliant father and friend. In spite of undergoing major heart surgery this year, he has worked tirelessly, and I am so grateful to him and the rest of the Trustees for the work they do on behalf of the Festival.

As part of this year’s Summer Festival, I am thrilled to welcome the Hallé choral staff who will be giving a free community singing workshop on 21 June, as part of their ‘Thank Hallé it’s Friday’ series. So many people have signed up to take part, and I hope this will be the first of many collaborations.

Next season I am overjoyed that Viv McLean is going to return and continue his relationship with Glossop Music Festival. I am also delighted that my dear friend and colleague, Benjamin Powell, piano will give his first recital for the Festival, together with his fantastic duo partner, Sophie Rosa, violin. We are also hopeful of finding a date for a performance by the world-class Apollo Saxophone Quartet, and there will most certainly be plenty of vocal offerings too. Watch this space!

Thank you all for your support of Glossop Music Festival. We wish Tom and family all the best on the next exciting chapter for them all, and are confident of a similarly exciting future for Glossop Music Festival.

GLOSSOP MUSIC FESTIVAL was founded in 2013 and operates under the auspices of the Glossop Concert Society, a registered charity which has put on professional classical music concerts for over twenty-five years.

CDL, Capstone Financial Management, Hetherington Newman, Taylor Wimpey PLC, Hewitt Freeborn Associates, and Davis Blank Furniss

Our aim is to bring the highest quality of music to the widest possible audience through a year-long series of concerts, comprising a Summer Festival together with one-off concerts throughout the year.

We intend to make Glossop Music Festival a truly international concert series, and an annual fixture in the diary of both musicians and audiences. We are also a Festival for the people of Glossop, welcoming young and old, newcomers and the well-seasoned, to world-class classical music in a relaxed atmosphere. As Carl Sagan said of his desire to share his love of science, “When you’re in love you want to tell the world”. We feel the same about classical music.

Glossop Music Festival invite outstanding instrumentalists and singers to our beautiful corner of the Peak District. We are hugely grateful to the Granada Foundation for once again generously supporting our work.

We also continue to forge links with local businesses as well as growing an expanding group of supporters who have joined our ‘Friends’ scheme. As a result, we are able to plan future concerts and seasons with a greater sense of security than ever before. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to thank the following sponsors for their generous support:

We would also like to thank our patrons who have supported us so generously: Mike & Gill Bull, Mark Henderson and Ken George And, of course, we would like to thank all of our Friends: Sheila & Mark Adlard, Mary & Jeremy Andrews, Sue & Ron Astles, Allan Barnes, Marion Barter, Christopher & Barbara Bohan, Mike & Gill Bull, Liz Butler, Margaret Butler, Ian Chesters, Maureen & Tim Cox, Ruth & Colin Cram, Edwina Currie Jones, Jeremy & Angela Dale, Jane Dixon, Martin & Kate Dowland, Valerie Elliott, Anne Fox, Judith & Ed Fuidge, Ken George, Kathleen Gorman, Sam Griffiths-Jones, Paddy Hardiker, Mark Henderson, Cilla Hollman, Bill & Myfanwy Hunter, Simon & Louise Hurrell, Eileen & Ian Laybourn, Nick Minns & Lesley Mitchell, Patricia Barlow-Ralls & Jeff Barlow, Jane Shirley, Victoria Stec, Peter & Jennie Sutherland, Pamela Valley, Fred & Sylvia Whitehead.

Glossop Concert Society (which incorporates Glossop Music Festival) is a Company Limited by

Guarantee (No. 10734395) and a Charity (Registered No. 1173405)

THROUGH THE CHAIR...Welcome to the Glossop Music Festival 2018. Building on the strengths and achievements of the last few years, we have more exciting and exceptionally high quality professional music to savour while also seeking to work with young people and build new larger, and even younger, audiences. This is a contribution to making Glossop an even better place to both live and work.

Through the winter there were three recitals with the fabulous Coull Quartet in October, the Christmas concert featuring Viv McLean and the Goldberg Variations, and then in February the Gould Piano Trio with Robert Plane, showcasing the astonishing and enthralling Messiaen ‘Quartet for the End of Time’. The two quartet events were fully sponsored and we remain grateful to those who so generously supported those concerts. Such support is vital.

In this year’s Summer Festiaval we have two full orchestral concerts with the return of so many musician friends. Our wonderful friend, Viv McLean who helped start this Festival, returns with a Mozart Piano Concerto, and we also have the Bach Double Violin Concerto with two exceptional soloists in Matthew Truscott and Mia Cooper. The final concert on Saturday sees Matt Sharp play the ever popular Elgar Cello Concerto. In addition we have reinstated the popular Saturday morning Family Concert, specifically for young people, and we also have the Late Night Recital and the free pop-up Pub Concert at the Pico Lounge.

This year will be the final Festival with Tom Elliott as Artistic Director, following his wife Katherine Baker’s appointment as Principal Flute at the Royal Opera House. We are thrilled for Katherine, and congratulate her whole-heartedly on her new appointment. They both inspired the establishing of this Festival and have led the entire operation ever

since. As the whole family move south, we thank them for all they have done for us, the audiences, and for Glossop. We wish them all well for the future, and the next exciting chapter in their lives. The Festival will go on and the trustees and artistic team will be meeting to lay

future plans following this Festival. Indeed exciting plans are already afoot!

Last year I mentioned the potential project to save the Victoria Hall listed building and convert it into a Community Arts Centre. Much work has been progressing and we hope to have a comprehensive Feasibility Study, Building Survey and potential Business Plan in the next few weeks. The Team will then review the proposals and make decisions about the overall feasibility. Appropriate Press releases will be issued as soon as we usefully can.

Do enjoy some fabulous music at this Festival!

ARTISTIC DIRECTIONS...

THIS IS NOW OUR FIFTH SUMMER FESTIVAL- AN

UNDENIABLE LANDMARK

When we put on our first concert under the Glossop Music Festival banner, in October 2013, I would never have imagined that 5 years later, we would still be putting on large-scale orchestral concerts that are both well-attended by our seemingly growing and enthusiastic audience. Incredibly, this is now our fifth Summer Festival- an undeniable landmark, but one that is tinged with sadness for me as it is going to be the final one in which I’ll be involved.

Back in 2013, I was still on my musical sabbatical, having locked my violin away to try my hand at being an electrician. The truth was, though, that a huge part of my life was missing, and Katherine was often reminded of that fact, when she would return home from a hard night on the platform to find me gorging on a diet of high-volume Handel and Rameau, my short-term fix was not filling the void.

Katherine knew that I needed to get involved again with music-making. So when I told her that I wanted to start a music festival in Glossop (at the suggestion in fact of our old-friend, Viv McLean) she was incredibly supportive. Perhaps she just fancied coming home to a quiet house! But it is without doubt, that I certainly could not have contemplated getting this series going without her help, encouragement and, of course, in the broadest sense, her musicianship.

I am particularly thrilled this year to be bringing you both the largest orchestra so far in the Festival’s history and performances from five soloists that have in their own ways become synonymous with GMF; the extraordinary Matthew Sharp who will be playing the elegiac masterpiece that is Elgar’s Cello

Concerto; a violinist who is as thoughtful as he is extravagantly skilful, leader indeed of that first concert in 2013, Matthew Truscott; Viv McLean, our pianist in residence, and the sort of musician who you could happily hear play all day; Mia Cooper, who with her style and grace, makes playing the violin look a doddle; and Claire Surman, who is such a wonderful organiser, source of energy, enthusiasm and humour, that, allied to her humility, it is possible to forget what a serious musician and truly breathtakingly classy soprano she is.

Enjoy the concerts and I wish the Festival all the very best success for many years to come. I will miss you all.

In demand as a guest leader, his engagements in this capacity have included projects with the English National Opera, Dutch National Opera, the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, the Budapest Festival Orchestra, The English Concert, Le Concert d’Astrée, The King’s Consort and Arcangelo.

“Viv McLean revealed extraordinary originality, superb simplicity, and muscles of steel hidden by fingers of velvet.

A keen chamber musician, recent recordings have included a set of Purcell Trio Sonatas with Retrospect Trio, a disc of Bach chamber music with Trevor Pinnock, Emmanuel Pahud and Jonathan Manson, and one of Haydn Piano Trios with Richard Lester and Simon Crawford-Phillips.

After this time in London, he spent a year at the Royal Conservatory of Music in The Hague.

Wadsworth has appeared in many festivals and concert halls (e.g. Wigmore Hall, Metropolitan Museum of Art) in Europe and North America; and his recordings have received critical acclaim. His solo recital cd’s have been released by Channel Classics Records. He has worked with vocalists James Gilchrist and Carolyn Sampson as well as a number of other chamber musicians.

In 2017, Matthew gave the world premiere at the Wigmore Hall of ‘The Miller’s Tale’, a solo theorbo piece written for him by composer Stephen Goss, and commissioned by guitarist John Williams.

In 2018, he will give the first performances of a theorbo concerto being written for him by Stephen Goss. This includes the premier in Hong Kong, and then a tour with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and a performance with the Northern Chamber Orchestra in 2019.

Kate Bennett Wadsworth has appeared at festivals throughout North America and Europe with baroque ensembles such as Arion, Tafelmusik, B’Rock, Apollo’s Fire, Aradia, Masques, and the Theatre of Early Music, and her continuo playing can be heard on the Naxos, ATMA, Artemis/Vanguard,and early-music.com labels. Now mid-way through her six-year cycle of the Bach cello suites for the Toronto Music Garden, Kate

recently premiered a companion piece to the 4th Suite, written for her by Canadian composer Michael Oesterle.

Kate also has a special passion for classical and romantic performance practice and is currently pursuing a practice-led PhD under Clive Brown at the University of Leeds, looking at the notoriously marked up editions of the cellist Friedrich Grützmacher as a window onto 19th-century performance practice. Drawing on similarly marked up editions, as well as treatises, memoirs, and other historical sources, she has also prepared annotated editions of the Brahms cello sonatas, in collaboration with Clive Brown and Neal Peres da Costa and published by Bärenreiter.

Matthew Sharp has performed at major venues and festivals worldwide as solo cellist, baritone and actor.

As well as many performances as a solo cellist with such orchestras as the Royal Philharmonic, the London Philharmonic and Scottish Chamber Orchestras, Matthew has also, amazingly, performed principal roles for Opera North (Papageno, Pied Piper), ROH2 (Exposure, Pleasure’s Progress), Almeida Opera (The Silent Twins) and the Young

Vic (Wolf and Hero) and National Theatre Studio. He has recorded for Sony, EMI, Decca, Naxos, Somm and Avie, and through his commitment to contemporary music, has given over fifty world premieres - including the title role in Sir John Tavener’s The Fool and Errollyn Wallen’s Cello Concerto. Recently, Matthew has given the London premiere of Whale Music by Matthew and bansuri flautist, Sameer Rao with words by Sir Andrew Motion at the South Bank’s Alchemy Festival, a highly acclaimed production of Salieri’s Prima la musica e poi le parole for West Green Opera Festival (which Matthew directed and sang the role of The Maestro in), a UK tour and the US premiere of the pioneering new concerto work Death’s Cabaret - A Love Story by Stephen Deazley and Martin Riley, the world premiere of Faustus - The Last Bus Home, a one-man opera commissioned especially for Matthew by Sound Festival,

solo cello recordings for DECCA and his pioneering festival RE:naissance at London’s Kings Place. As Classical Music Magazine have dubbed him, Matthew is truly “The Renaissance Man” and we are delighted and privileged to have him here with us both in his role as our Principal Cello and performing his one-man show in the Family Concert.

‘An extraordinary cellist - charismatic, virtuosic,

brimming with verve and poetry.’ The Times

‘Matthew Sharp’s singing raised the evening to a

pitch of spiritual feverishness rarely encountered

in either concert hall or theatre.’ Independent on Sunday

TOMMY FOGGO SUPERHERO FAMILY CONCERT

SATURDAY 23 JUNE AT 11.30AM, GLOSSOP PARISH CHURCH

Tommy’s mum had told him to wait for her at the bus stop and she never showed up again. It felt to Tommy like he’d been stuck there for a zillion years – even after he’d been taken to live in the children’s home. Then, one day, he runs away to the seaside, where he finds Destino, a talking cello with a mission.

Will Tommy be big enough to defeat the terrifying Kraken of the Deep and rescue the Queen of Lost Atlantis?

Become a Friend of GLOSSOP MUSIC FESTIVAL

As we think forward to next season, Glossop Music Festival is undoubtedly going to take a new artistic direction. I will miss Tom, Katherine, their wonderful children, and their wider family, immensely. Working with Tom these past few years has been a total joy - an indecent amount of fun, in fact! The musical rewards have been phenomenal - the warmth of the friendship has surpassed them.

I remain so excited about music making in Glossop and, as a relative newcomer, am still amazed by the huge number of talented musicians living in the area. I have been having inspiring chats with many of those people about the future direction of the Festival. The discussions will continue with our fabulous team of trustees, and we will share more with you in due course.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my wonderful father, Mike Bull, for his unstinting support, passion and commitment to both Tom and I, and to the Festival. He is the most brilliant father and friend. In spite of undergoing major heart surgery this year, he has worked tirelessly, and I am so grateful to him and the rest of the Trustees for the work they do on behalf of the Festival.

As part of this year’s Summer Festival, I am thrilled to welcome the Hallé choral staff who will be giving a free community singing workshop on 21 June, as part of their ‘Thank Hallé it’s Friday’ series. So many people have signed up to take part, and I hope this will be the first of many collaborations.

Next season I am overjoyed that Viv McLean is going to return and continue his relationship with Glossop Music Festival. I am also delighted that my dear friend and colleague, Benjamin Powell, piano will give his first recital for the Festival, together with his fantastic duo partner, Sophie Rosa, violin. We are also hopeful of finding a date for a performance by the world-class Apollo Saxophone Quartet, and there will most certainly be plenty of vocal offerings too. Watch this space!

Thank you all for your support of Glossop Music Festival. We wish Tom and family all the best on the next exciting chapter for them all, and are confident of a similarly exciting future for Glossop Music Festival.
