A ripple of excitement spread through the room as Artistic Director Nicky Marshall presented this year’s Music Festival Programme to Festival Friends at their annual lunch in November.
Evening concerts will bring a range of contrasting group and individual performers from different styles and periods of classical music. We like to include composers we’ve not previously brought for you to hear in Budleigh. This year we’ll have Mussorgsky, Frank Bridge and Huw Watkins’ string quartet, with the composer himself joining the Sacconi String Quartet as pianist in the Dvořák Quintet. Other firsts include the Festival Orchestra playing Nicholas Marshall’s Five Country Dances and first appearances by Exeter Cathedral Choir and artists from the 12 Ensemble. Returning artists include Roderick Williams and Susie Allan; and Devon Opera for the final evening performance of a new compilation of operatic gems.
There is much to look forward to at lunchtimes, too. As usual, these will primarily feature artists with a local connection. Indeed, one of the performers in the Santiago Quartet lives right here in Budleigh. In response to the popularity of concerts with harp in recent years, we begin the season with a flute and harp duo. Amongst other musical treats we have a visit from the Sidmouth Town Band – they should have you marching along the High Street after their concert. For something completely different, Daughters of Elvin will play medieval music, and young Joel Munday looks set to steal your heart away with his violin recital.
None of this would be possible without the generous support of our Friends, sponsors and benefactors. Please see Page 18 for details.
Finally, a big thank you to the Committee, the wider organising team and to the community for supporting us and helping us to put on for you the Budleigh Music Festival, now in its 13th year.
I look forward to seeing you in July. Jean Quinn (Chairman)
The 12 Ensemble is rapidly developing a reputation as London’s foremost un-conducted string orchestra. A bold, versatile and virtuosic ensemble, the group is built around a core of London’s finest and most exciting chamber musicians. Founded in 2012 the group’s youthful
energy and passion for chamber music is at the heart of their music-making. ‘The performance was mesmerising… we couldn’t not listen. This was perhaps one of the most gripping performances of the Britten that I have ever heard.’ (Robert Hugill)

Pre-concert Reception at 6.15pm for Festival Friends only. St Peter’s Church
This evening contains two significant ‘firsts’. The Festival is delighted to welcome the Exeter Cathedral Choir for the first time. The choir will be made up of all the elements available to Director Timothy Noon, with the thirty-six boy and girl choristers, plus the adult lay vicars and choral scholars, coming together to create a substantial choral sound. Add to this a top harpist, percussionist and organist for the Bernstein and we have a pool of excellent local professional musicians.
We also feature for the first time music by Leonard Bernstein who is famous for many works, most notably West Side Story, Candide and On The Town. The Chichester Psalms is affirmative, energetic and rousing, yet also moving and at times serene. It is widely regarded as one of the 20th Century’s great choral works. The programme will also include other favourite pieces for choir and organ from five centuries of choral music.
