But following this anniversary there is some sad news, with the recent passing of our President, Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon. Her energy, commitment and enthusiasm from the outset and throughout the evolution of the Festival have been fundamental to its success. The Duchess of Kent and I have seen the Festival grow from humble beginnings to an internationally renowned arts festival, having faced and overcome many obstacles along the way. Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon, can be justly proud of the Festival’s achievements. Her legacy must surely be a Festival that continues to flourish as we embark on the next forty years. www.newburyspringfestival.org.uk 1 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 2 Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon MBE Founder and President 1935 - 2019 2 box office 0845 5218 218 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 3 The Festival’s founder and president, Jeanie Countess of Carnarvon was a great and much loved lady who we will always remember for her inspirational support of Newbury Spring Festival and her gentle and gracious presence at so many events over the years.

  • Priya Mitchell Violin
    PRIYA MITCHELL VIOLIN „One of the foremost violinists of her generation“ The Strad „Mitchell's playing is yet very tender and at the same time outrageously wild, raw and passionate... Emancipated from the text, by the last notes of the concert it seemed as if the lid of an enchanted music box was gently closing“, Süddeutsche Zeitung „A wonderful, highly emotional as well as intellectually curious violinist“ determined Egbert Tholl in the Süddeutsche Zeitung about the Oxford-born Priya Mitchell, who received her first violin lessons at the Yehudi Menuhin School with David Takeno. With him she attended in the subsequent period, private studies and subsequently studied with Zakhar Bron at the Musikhochschule Lübeck. She was then chosen ‘Rising Stars’ of the European Concert Halls Organisation Series, giving recitals in Paris (Cité de la Musique), Vienna (Konzerthaus), Frankfurt (Alte Oper), Amsterdam (Concertgebouw), Brussels (Palais des Beaux-Arts), Birmingham (Symphony Hall),London (Wigmore Hall) and New York (Carnegie Hall). This success led to highly acclaimed tours and performances with, amongst others, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra London, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, London, the Belgian Radio and Television Philharmonic, the Deutsche Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, the Sinfonia Varsovia, the Moscow Philharmonic and the Australian Chamber Orchestra. Thereby she worked with conductors such as Sir Andrew Davis, Richard Hickox, Heinrich Schiff, Yuri Temirkanov or Yan Pascal Tortelier. A highly committed chamber musician and interpreter she continues to work with, among others, Patricia Kopatchinskaja, Natalie Clein, Nicolas Altsteadt, Polina Leschenko, and Alexander Lonquich.. Also Priya Mitchell performs regularly at the chamber music festivals in Kuhmo, Ravinia, Lugano, Lockenhaus, Stavanger, Risør and Trondheim, as well as at the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg, the Schleswig-Holstein Musikfestival, the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, at Cheltenham and Bath.

He is the Music Director Designate of the San Francisco Symphony; the 2020-21 season will be his first as Music Director. He is Artist in Association at the Finnish National Opera and Ballet. He recently joined the faculty of LA's Colburn School, where he developed, leads, and directs the pre-professional Negaunee Conducting Program. He is the Conductor Laureate for both the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, where he was Music Director from 1992 until 2009.

Kopatchinskaja will begin her tenure in the 2014-15 season where she will be joining current Artistic Partners Roberto Abbado, Edo de Waart, Christian Zacharias and Thomas Zehetmair. The SPCO will be the first major American orchestra to present Kopatchinskaja in concert. SPCO President Bruce Coppock proudly said, “One of the great joys of our work at the SPCO is to introduce Twin Cities audiences to sparkling and effervescent artists, musicians previously unknown to our patrons, but who will shortly become household names and favorites of SPCO audiences. Kopatchinskaja is the most ravishingly intense and virtuosic musician I have heard in a very long time, and she is sure to be one of those discoveries. She assimilates the earthiness —more— of her Eastern European roots, her rigorous traditional training and a seemingly limitless imagination to create performances that are completely convincing, utterly compelling and downright spectacular.” Kopatchinskaja has been praised world-wide for her “irresistible,” “unpredictable,” and “wonderfully imaginative” performances (The Times).
