I love to visit Bradfield and its surrounding beautiful countryside and very much enjoyed playing for you again last year! St Nicholas’ Church stands in a glorious setting and, when the Church is packed with people, the acoustics are wonderful and a special, intimate atmosphere is created for the musicians.

As ever, this year’s line up has been imaginatively planned to give the audience a variety of musical genres. My own recommendation for this Festival was the exceptionally talented young pianist Benjamin Grosvenor and I am sure you will enjoy his extraordinary playing.

My very best wishes to you all for another fantastic Festival. Jiaxin and I look forward to seeing you all next year.
