SUMMARY:Bradfield Festival of Music 2026 : Tim Kliphuis Trio
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, the Bradfield Festival of Music features a week of wonderful concerts performed by highly sought artists in the magical setting of St Nicholas’ Church\, High Bradfield with its superb acoustic and fantastic views across Bradfield Dale. \nAward-winning Dutch violinist Tim Kliphuis has created a brand new style that embraces classical\, gypsy jazz and folk. Hailed as a ‘current-day improvising Paganini’\, his inclusive and innovative approach to music has united audiences and is influencing a new generation of string players. \nThis year – the 20th year of touring with his trio – Tim will be presenting a brand-new\, virtuosic interpretation of George Gershwin’s ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ that swings\, grooves and dazzles. With their trademark high-octane sound\, the three play the role of orchestra and soloist\, bringing back the free-flowing improvisational energy that Gershwin’s timeless melodies deserve. \nPaired with the ‘Rhapsody’ is the Trio’s popular arrangement ‘Hoedown for the Common Man’\, as performed with orchestras across the world\, that celebrates the music of yet another legendary American composer: Aaron Copland. To top this exciting programme off\, the Trio play some Gershwin gems: ‘It Ain’t Necessarily So’\, ‘I Got Rhythm’ and ‘They Can’t Take That Away from Me’ in a solo guitar version. \nMore details on the Festival website. \nOnline ticket sales are available at https://bradfieldfestivalofmusic.littleboxoffice.com/browse from 1st March 2026. \nFor other booking options (by post\, over-the-counter\, telephone) and patron tickets for the whole festival\, please see the Festival website.

SUMMARY:STRINGS AND ORGAN - West Riding Ensemble String Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Here WRE brings together professional players and students of artistic director David Milsom in a string orchestra tour de force\, featuring two concerti\, and one of the most celebrated British string orchestra compositions. \nVaughan Williams’ Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis stands as a pinnacle of a peculiarly British association with the string orchestra as an ensemble\, and is paired in this programme with the poignant Romance for string orchestra by Gerald Finzi. \nA total melodic and harmonic contrast is provided by Poulenc’s electrifying\, modernist Organ Concerto\, in spite of a gap in time of only 28 years after the Vaughan Williams Fantasia. This work (which also includes timpani) sees St Marie’s Cathedral’s Director of Music and organist Robert Webb as soloist on the fine\, restored but unmodernised three-manual Lewis organ\, which is in its 150th anniversary year. \nThe focal point for WRE founders David Milsom and Maria Nikolaeva is performing the world premiere of Vermeer Music\, a work written by Ian Crew for them as violin soloists with a string ensemble. The work uses Baroque forms\, including divisions (florid variations)\, and a fugato\, separating the players into ‘concertino’ (soloists) and ‘ripieno’ (ensemble) in the tradition of the Baroque concerto grosso. The work acts as a deep contemplation of the musical relationship of the two soloists\, initially as student and teacher\, but increasingly as colleagues and collaborators\, brought together with the inspiration of several paintings by the Dutch artist\, Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675). This makes for a complex\, interwoven texture which links to perfection WRE’s union of scholarship\, performance passion\, and pedagogy. \nIn keeping with the raison d’être of WRE\, the string ensemble includes a number of students. WRE is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to give a professional platform to emerging young musicians in an ‘apprentice’ model\, and pays students a fair fee for their work. \nPROGRAMME\nCREW: Vermeer Music Concerto Grosso for two solo violins and string orchestra (2026)\nPOULENC: Organ Concerto (1938)\nVAUGHAN WILLIAMS: Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis (1910)\nFINZI: Romance (1928) \nPERFORMERS\nDavid Milsom & Maria Nikolaeva – solo violins\nRobert Webb – organ\nWRE String Orchestra\nConductors: Ian Crew\, John Lyon\, and Wilf Dingle

Open to performers\, composers\, and appreciators of all kinds. \nHow it works: \nEvery Hidden Track night will have two halves. The first half will be programmed performances.

This jam session is for both experienced and new improvisers alike\, and your hosts will guide the session. Explorations of unconventional instrumentations and styles are welcome! \nIf you have no desire to perform or jam\, you are very welcome to come along and listen.
