Conductor and Artistic Director Matthew Taylor acclaims international violin soloist Ken Aiso
at the 2005 Tunbridge Wells Festival |
This year the theme of the Festival is the Roaring Twenties and we shall be exploring the rich diversity of music written during these magical years ranging from Sibelius to Gershwin, and from Stravinsky to Cole Porter as well as including some of the best loved works from the Classical era played by leading artists.
We are delighted to welcome some of Britain’s most distinguished musicians, some of whom will be appearing at the Festival for the first time: Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, Richard Hickox CBE. Paul Lewis, Claire Martin, Thomas Trotter.
So, do join us and celebrate the 20’s in a series of events that will feed the heart, mind and soul.
Matthew Taylor
