The festival was piloted in 2009 and then held on 30th June and 1st July 2012. Description The festival was a joyful mix of classical and contemporary music, talks and live performances, camping and children's entertainment. Performers included Adrian Utley (Portishead) and Will Gregory (Goldfrapp) the Scrapheap Orchestra, the British Paraorchestra, Prof Green and Labrinth, with a fully staged performance of Carmen by a cast of professionals and local choirs. There were 2,636 adults audience members and 825 children (who were free), plus 160 professional artists and 780 other performers. Audience views There was a good balance between people attending as part of a family group, with friends, in a couple, and some on their own. Audience members were attracted by the mix of music, the link to Charles Hazlewood, the insight into performance from live rehearsals, the reasonable cost, the informality and the novelty.

  • Charles Hazlewood - Brief Biography
    Charles Hazlewood - Brief Biography “What Heston Blumenthal is to food, Charles Hazlewood is to music.” The Guardian Charles Hazlewood, British conductor, is a passionate advocate for a wider audience for orchestral music. After winning the European Broadcasting Union conducting competition in his 20’s, he has enjoyed a global and pioneering career conducting some of the world’s greatest orchestras including the Swedish Radio Symphony, Gothenburg & Malmö Symphonies, Copenhagen Philharmonic, the Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Concertgebouw of Amsterdam and the Philharmonia (London). Hazlewood is known for breaking new ground. By re-inventing the presentation of orchestral music and by collaborating with many ‘stars’ from across the genres of music Hazlewood has sought to embed the ‘magical instrument of the orchestra’ in 21st century music scene; but always with the same goal: to expose the deep, always-modern joy of orchestral music to a new audience. Hazlewood has conducted over 200 world premieres of new scores by contemporary composers, and worked with contemporary musicians as diverse as Wyclef Jean, Professor Green, Goldie, Nigel Kennedy and Steve Reich. He is the first conductor to headline with an orchestra at the Glastonbury International Festival of Contemporary Arts, the greatest rock festival in the world. Hazlewood's work as a composer and music director has been received with consistent critical acclaim. His South African township 'Carmen' film sung in Xhosa won the Golden Bear for Best Film at the Berlin Film Festival, his South African musical version of the mediaeval plays 'The Mysteries' was a sell out in London's West End and provoked the first leader on music theatre in the Times in 40 years; his re-invention (with Carl Grose) of John Gay's, the Beggar's Opera (Dead Dog in a Suitcase and Other Love Songs), was selected by the Guardian for its top 10 shows of 2015.

  • The Passion of Joan of Arc with Adrian Utley, Will Gregory and Charles Hazlewood Supported by Hauser & Wirth Somerset
    HAUSER & WIRTH Press Release The Passion of Joan of Arc With Adrian Utley, Will Gregory and Charles Hazlewood Supported by Hauser & Wirth Somerset Wells Cathedral, Somerset, England Friday 7 October 2016, 8 pm Hauser & Wirth Somerset, in collaboration with Adrian Utley (Portishead), Will Gregory (Goldfrapp) and award- winning conductor Charles Hazlewood, presents a special live orchestral performance and film screening in the magnificent medieval setting of Wells Cathedral. Adrian Utley and Will Gregory have devised a new score sound-tracking the dramatic and moving narrative of Danish film director Carl Theodor Dreyer’s ‘The Passion of Joan of Arc’ (1928), which chronicles Joan of Arc’s trial and execution during her captivity in France. Initially commissioned by the Colston Hall and supported by The Watershed, Bristol, the inventive new score will be performed live alongside a screening of the film, led by Charles Hazlewood with members of the Monteverdi Choir, percussion, horns, harp and synthesizers. Wells Cathedral is located at the heart of England’s smallest city, Wells in Somerset, situated 13 miles from Hauser & Wirth Somerset. Cited as one of the earliest English cathedrals to be constructed in Gothic style, the building is a treasured and significant architectural landmark in the south west of England. The distinguished setting will provide a unique opportunity to witness Hazlewood, Utley and Gregory’s breathtaking and inspired production. Located on the outskirts of Bruton, Hauser & Wirth Somerset is an innovative world-class gallery and arts centre that works in partnership with many local institutions, businesses and organisations to foster local creative talent and champion charities related to art, community, conservation and education.

When the UK won the bid for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we promised that this ‘once in a lifetime’ event would include a great cultural programme that could involve people nationwide. When we are asked why, we go back to the example of Ancient Greece, where the Olympic Games included artists as well as athletes. As recently as the London 1948 Games, artists were awarded medals along with the athletes. This Festival has invited artists from all over the world to create amazing events from Shetland to Cornwall, from Enniskillen to Edinburgh, from Hackney to Hadrian’s Wall – with more than 10 million FREE opportunities to take part. The Festival would not be possible without our cultural and community partners throughout the UK. But most of all, it simply would not have happened without our great funding partners and sponsors.

Tuesday, February 9 @ 7:30 PM Wednesday, February 10 @ 5:30 PM Thursday, February 11 @ 7:30 PM Friday, February 12 @ 8 PM Saturday, February 13 @ 2 PM Saturday, February 13 @ 8 PM Prince Theatre This engagement of Filter Theatre is made possible through the ArtsCONNECT program of Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation with support from the National Endowment for the Arts. Special thanks to honorary producers of the Annenberg Center Live theatre series, Stephanie and Ron Kramer. Media Sponsor: 15/16 Season 11 PROGRAM noteS Two worlds collide in Filter Theatre’s explosive new take on Shakespeare’s lyrical Twelfth Night. Viola is shipwrecked on Illyria, where Olivia’s melancholic, puritanical household clashes head on with Sir Toby’s insatiable appetite for drunken debauchery. Orsino’s relentless pursuit of Olivia, and Malvolio’s extraordinary transformation, typifies the madness of love in Illyria: land of make-believe and illusion. This story of romance, satire and mistaken identity is crafted into one of the most exciting and accessible Shakespeare productions of recent years. You will experience the madness of love in this heady world where riotous gig meets Shakespeare. Originally commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) Artistic Director, Michael Boyd, as part of the RSC's Complete Works Festival, Filter Theatre's characteristically radical and riotous interpretation of this well-worn classic reaffirms its reputation as one of the most consistently inventive and critically-acclaimed theatre companies working today.
