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

Visitors are invited to join us on our walks - and also to learn our songs at special events in the Lake District. We rent stunning accommodation for our groups (like the Black Sail Youth Hostel and Elterwater Youth Hostel - or the luxury cottages in the village of Dent for our Folk Carols festival) - and also provide very low cost alternatives with camps and a vehicle to carry our bags - my wife Lucia, who is a cordon bleu chef, prepares all the food for our groups catering for both vegetarians and meat eaters - and also several special diets like dairy and gluten intolerance too. There are photos of the Lake District and our singing groups on my Facebook photos page. And although we cater both for those who are on a budget and those who prefer more luxury we can arrange special tailor made tours of the Lake District for visiting choirs - like we did for Candy Verney's* choir from the south of England Sounding it Out last year when we arranged for them to meet our local singers, to sing on the Lady of the Lake Ullswater steamer, and in concerts alongside our local choirs. All the details are on our www.lakelandvoice.co.uk website. You might also like to see videos of singers and visiting choirs at https://www.youtube.com/Davidburbidge.
