Box office:01392 665885 3 WELCOME It is always difficult to begin writing an introduction to a series of concerts that do not take place for another few months. As I put pen to paper, many of the concerts have only just been finalised. When I get to this stage however, I do feel as if some of the hard work is beginning to pay off. Of course, there won’t be any proof of the pudding until the concerts begin. That is when I wait with bated breath to see what you, our supporters and newcomers to the Festival, make of it. I have tried, as always, to give you a wide variety of events. This year’s concerts feature a complete mix of performers, from a clutch of fledgling artists to many more at the pinnacle of global careers. High spots include Dame Sarah Connolly singing Gluck and Handel with the English Concert, steered by the distinguished conductor, Harry Bicket. The refined pianist, Imogen Cooper, focuses on Schubert while the Elias Quartet will display their love for Haydn. For those with an appetite for contemporary music, Harvey Davies and the Pleyel Ensemble will be performing William Mathias and James MacMillan. Other highlights to enjoy are the Dinner Concert, with sumptuous food and a programme to match delivered by rising stars Lorena Paz Nieto and Malachy Frame, and for those of you who have longed to see how a minuet should be performed, Ricardo Barros' Baroque dance event is a must for your diary. To round off the festival, the esteemed Australian pianist, Piers Lane, joins the effervescent and award-winning amateur orchestra - North Devon Sinfonia - for Beethoven’s 1st Piano Concerto. Unusually, this year’s Festival begins with two song recitals. The first features baritone, Ashley Riches and accompanist, Joseph Middleton with a marvellous programme based on a theme of migration, and the following day, renowned artists Roderick Williams OBE, Elizabeth Watts and Roger Vignoles, perform a sumptuous programme of Rachmaninov and Strauss. We look forward to welcoming you. Penny Adie MBE Artistic Director

Delivering exciting and engaging campaigns for stand-out Southwest events is at the heart of what we do, and we are proud to support the remarkable Two Moors Festival.

A FRIENDS, ASSOCIATES AND BENEFACTORS (FABs) EVENT IN ASSOCIATION WITH CHAGFORD FILM FESTIVAL MOZART IN TURKEY FILM SCREENING INTRODUCTORY TALK AND Q&A AFTERWARDS WITH DIRECTOR MICK CSAKY Mozart in Turkey is a film of and about Mozart's opera, The Abduction from the Seraglio. One third documentary and two thirds filmed theatre, this fascinating experiment by filmmaker Mick Csaky and opera director Elijah Moshinsky, revolves around a staging of Mozart's first popular success. Musical sequences are interwoven with footage of rehearsals and interviews which provide historical context. The Turkish setting is breathtaking, and the film offers a unique opportunity for Mozart devotees to see one of his works spring from fantasy to reality. The production, performed in the harem of the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, features exquisite set design and a top-notch cast, with Sir Charles Mackerras conducting the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. This screening is timed to coincide with English Touring Opera’s production of The Seraglio, which comes to Exeter for two nights in November. Visit www.theglobeinnchagford.co.uk to book supper at the venue before the screening. Please note, there are steep steps to the venue.

ASHLEY RICHES BARITONE JOSEPH MIDDLETON PIANO

Tim Ashley, The Guardian "ASHLEY RICHES IS RAPIDLY EMERGING AS ONE OF TODAY'S FINEST YOUNG SINGERS..."

Did you know that ladybirds, jellyfish and centipedes migrate? Here’s a programme that will enlighten us all on the movement of birds, insects and animals of all sorts. ‘Migration’ is the theme for the exciting opening concert to complement Exeter’s Royal Albert Memorial Museum’s exhibition. Renowned Royal Opera House baritone, Ashley Riches, joins famed accompanist Joseph Middleton in a programme that includes Schubert’s 'Die Forelle', Fauré’s 'Dove', Saint-Saëns’ 'La Coccinelle' and Ravel’s 'Le Cygne'. Together with gems from Samuel Barber and Charles Ives, they are all there in herds and flocks – you might even get The Independent a Gnu if you’re lucky.

BLUNDELL’S SCHOOL CHAMBER CHOIR CHILDREN FROM BLUNDELL’S PREPARATORY SCHOOL CHILDREN FROM DULVERTON JUNIOR SCHOOL WELLS CATHEDRAL SCHOOL STRING QUARTET TEXT BY ROGER WATTS FLOWERS BY ANNE CALDWELL

R. D. Blackmore’s timeless novel, Lorna Doone has never been out of print since it was first published in 1869. His story put Exmoor’s people, history and landscapes firmly on the map, and today remains something of a global phenomenon, with numerous TV and film adaptations. Celebrated actor John Nettles will narrate the story of Exmoor’s most famous fictional characters, Lorna Doone and John Ridd. The author was a pupil at Blundell's school, and he set the opening chapters of his book at the school. So it is fitting that current students at the school should have specially composed the music for this concert, setting some of the poems contained in the novel. The music will be performed by three choirs, and they will be supported by the Wells Cathedral School String Quartet. This celebration of the 150th anniversary of the book’s publication will be an unmissable occasion.

THE ART OF SINGING PSALMS – A WORKSHOP DIRECTED BY DAVID DAVIES ORGANIST JONATHAN DELBRIDGE

Chanting and psalm singing are rapidly becoming dying arts in churches up and down the country. This workshop is a must for those whose memory of bygone days includes singing traditional 1662 Sunday services. Equally, it will be of interest to anyone who is less familiar with these genres but is curious about the extraordinary contributions they made to England’s rich and diverse choral heritage. Led by David Davies, Assistant Organist (until recently) at Exeter Cathedral, and West Country organist, Jonathan Delbridge, the workshop is in preparation for the Festival’s Service of Choral Evensong at 3pm on the same day. No prior experience necessary.

Berkeley’s work was commissioned for the esteemed horn player, Dennis Brain, and Cooke (who hailed from a family of carpet manufacturers) is a neglected composer whose works deserve greater prominence on the concert platform.

She is renowned for her interpretation of Schubert’s piano works and in particular for his final trilogy of sonatas, not published until ten years after the composer’s death.

The photographs he took became the foundation for a Dartmoor archive which now spans forty-five years, and in 1976 he chose the village of Throwleigh as his permanent home.

With UK agriculture and wider land management facing many disruptions, including Brexit, climate change and increasing demands from both the consumer and society, John Varley OBE TD, considers how emerging trends may shape land- based rural businesses over the next few years. It is clear that we are at an agricultural breakpoint, potentially on a scale not seen since at least the 1970s. Whilst many commentators see this disruption as a risk to be mitigated to ensure continuity and stability, others see it is an opportunity to question current business models and explore options to transform them to be fit for the future. John will put the case for transformation and change.

Former New Generation Artists, the Elias Quartet has achieved a national and international reputation as one of the foremost quartets to emerge on the concert scene in recent years. Their cleverly devised programme includes Australian composer Matthew Hindson’s second string quartet, written in 2013. The opening String Quartet, Op 33 No 5 by Haydn, has the curious nickname “How do you do?” The first movement begins pianissimo with a Galant Cadence, the musical equivalent of a bow or curtsey, the rhythm of which prompted this nineteenth-century English nickname. Schubert’s Rosamunde Quartet was composed in 1824, taking as its theme the sad opening of one of his most famous songs, Gretchen am Spinnrade.

The Pleyel Ensemble reappears, this time devoting their programme to piano quartets. The chamber music repertoire would be deprived without this combination of instruments. Mozart, Brahms, Mendelssohn were all drawn to the genre and inspired to produce some of their finest works. The quartets chosen for this recital reflect this, and Schumann’s is perhaps the supreme example.

THE LUTOSŁAWSKI PIANO DUO

BARTLOMIEJ WASIK AND EMILIA SITARZ

The Lutosławski Duo makes a welcome return to the Festival. They are firmly in the forefront of exponents of the two-piano repertoire, and their past concerts here have always been a sell-out. Their programme is inspired by the history of Witold Lutosławski and Andrzej Panufnik who, during the Second World War, performed their own piano transcriptions of well-known works in the famous restaurants and piano bars of Warsaw, which at the time was occupied by Nazi Germany.

J.S. BACH LUTOSŁAWSKI Schafe können sicher weiden Paganini Variations BWV 208 BRAHMS DEBUSSY Waltzes Op 39 (selection) Prelude to the Afternoon RAVEL of a Faun La valse CHOPIN / LISZT The Wish DE FALLA Fire Dance RACHMANINOV Vocalise

The Lutosławski Piano Duo concert is made possible by the generous support of the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, the Capital City of Warsaw (Miasto Stołeczne Warszawa) and the Kwadrofonik Association (Stowarzyszenie Kwadrofonik).

There are few opportunities for talented young instrumentalists and singers to gain experience performing in public. Through the Festival’s Young Musicians Competition, four winners are selected each year who, as part of their award, share a concert within the festival (see page 39 for 2019’s recital). This concert gives three previous winners the opportunity to showcase their talents. Rebecca McNaught was a winner of the Two Moors Festival’s Young Musicians Competition in 2014. Having gained a first- class degree in Music at Oxford, Rebecca has gone on to the Royal Academy of Music where, as a postgraduate student, she is a second-year scholar. Clara Sherratt began playing the piano at the age of six, and in 2017 became one of the youngest ever winners of the Two Moors Festival’s Young Musicians Competition. She is currently studying with Dina Parakhina, Professor at the Royal College of Music and is mentored by the RCM’s Head of Keyboard, Vanessa Latarche.

The Strad "(THE DAVIES DUO)...A FINE REPUTATION FOR INTELLIGENT, SENSITIVE, TECHNICALLY ASSURED AND VITAL PERFORMANCES OF A WIDE RANGE OF 20TH CENTURY REPERTOIRE" Last year’s talk was as vibrant as it was fun - for audience and artist alike. This year Penny Adie will be chatting to the 2019 Festival’s resident pianist Harvey Davies about his fascinating life in music. Harvey’s talents are many: he is one half of the Davies Duo (with pianist mother Helen), a founding member of the Pleyel Ensemble, a sought-after coach, accompanist, chamber musician and soloist. Harvey is also a Teaching Fellow and Staff Pianist at the Royal Northern College of Music and a passionate researcher; his endeavours have done much to ensure that the works of neglected composers such as Arnold Cooke are given the attention they deserve.

The annual concert given by the winners is an exciting event and not to be missed.

Early Music "ONE WOULD REALLY BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND MORE ELEGANT AND INTIMATE MUSIC-MAKING THAN THAT OF THE BACH PLAYERS"

L'Art de la Danse: The Bach Players and Mercurius Company join hands to bring audiences the graceful, moving and seductive world of French Baroque. They propel instrumental suites into motion with their newly-devised choreographies to music by Baroque composers Couperin and Rebel. With the dancers dressed up in full court and theatrical costumes, this concert is a must-see for all ages. Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to dance a bourée or sarabande or even a minuet? This concert will reveal how wonderful these dance movements are, and at the same time, show us all too plainly how sad it is that we can only ‘bop’ today. Baroque Dance specialist, Riccardo Barros makes a welcome return to the festival. Many people will remember him from the magnificent children’s concert in 2007, for which he successfully trained the Festival’s Youth Choir to become elegant dancers. On this occasion Barros, together with dancer Gudrun Skamletz, will showcase the beautiful movements of dance from the 17th century. The Bach Players are known for their engaging programmes of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century music. They play on original instruments and work without a conductor.
