Ulverston Music Festival hopes some 'Divine Fire' will warm the Winter
Nights ! Ulverston Music Festival announces
its Winter Series, presenting five captivating concerts from November to
March, all at Ulverston Parish Church, featuring our resident Steinway
concert grand piano. Great music right on our doorstep, featuring
international artists. Julian Arp and Sacha Rattle will
open the series performing a trio of trios, written for clarinet, cello
and piano. Brahms and Beethoven you may know, but Frühling's beautifully
melodic Clarinet Trio is a gem, waiting to be discovered. In December, pianist Viv McLean and
actress Susan Porrett come to Ulverston, to bring you Divine Fire. A
compelling narration with Chopin, telling the story of Chopin’s
relationship with the authoress George Sand, plus there'll be some mince
pies to get you into the festive spirit! In February, we welcome students
from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire for a total immersion into Bach’s
‘48’ Books I & II of The Well-Tempered Clavier. Each book is a
ground-breaking compendium and designed to inspire and stretch keen
keyboard students. This is a wonderful opportunity to hear some amazing
piano from up and coming young international musicians. March brings a concert of passion
and power, with Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata and Strauss' Violin Sonata.
These will be performed by Anthony Hewitt and Roman Simović who led the
London Symphony Orchestra in Simon Rattle’s Mahler 9 swan-song at this
year’s Proms. Don't miss this chance to brighten
up your winter with some magical classical performances! For tickets and more information on all concerts, please see the
