onder, intoxication, lightness, wisdom, storytelling, W sparseness, delicacy – just some of the words most commonly used to describe the music of Judith Weir. Said to have ‘the knack of making simple musical ideas appear freshly mysterious’, she was born in Cambridge to a Scottish family and spent several years working as a community musician, also later directing the Spitalfields Festival, whilst building a catalogue of works and a reputation as one of the country’s foremost composers. Her music often draws on sources from medieval history, as well as the traditional stories and music of her native Scotland. Among many honours and awards, she was in 2014 appointed Master of the Queen’ s Music. 16 17 ST FRIDAY 20 Th JulY CONTINUED SATuRDAY 21 JulY

66 67 68 69 Securing the Future oF the ryedale FeStival the ryedale FeStival exists to enrich the lives of our community by providing access to first rate cultural experiences through its innovative programme of music, literature and creativity – and all on our very beautiful doorstep. It also reaches out to raise aspirations and create opportunity for the widest range of audiences and participants through new commissions, education and valued experience for young performers. However, although the Festival is highly regarded and respected nationally and internationally for its artistic excellence it presently receives no public funds and can only survive and thrive with your help. e Ryedale Festival is very grateful to its members and friends for their regular financial support and we hope this will continue. However, in order to safeguard its continuity, the Ryedale Festival Future Fund (RCN 1168279) was founded in 2015 to maintain and grow an endowment fund to support the Ryedale Festival. Donations to this charity will form part of the permanent capital of the Fund. Donors can therefore have the satisfaction of knowing that their contribution, and the resulting income from it, will provide a long term benefit and security for the Ryedale Festival. e Trustees of the Fund receive no remuneration or expenses and no salaries are paid. Gifts of any amount are welcome as are legacies . As the Ryedale Festival Future Fund is a registered charity there are tax benefits for both donors and the Fund. Lifetime gifts will be eligible for Gift Aid, increasing the value of the gift to the Fund by 25% and potentially providing an income tax saving for the donor, dependent upon their personal tax position. Both lifetime gifts and legacies are free from Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax. help us to ensure that the ryedale Festival remains a sustainable organisation for the cultural and social benefit of so many now and in the future.
