Introductionfrom the Artistic Director

Welcome to the 33rd Ryedale Festival – two weeks ofinspiring performances in the houses, churches,theatres and concert venues of North Yorkshire.

We open with two of Monteverdi’s greatest works:the Vespers of 1610 and his opera e Coronation ofPoppea, introducing an Italian theme which runsthroughout the Festival and which also includes LaSerenissima playing Vivaldi, a celebration of theVenetian madrigal with the Fieri Consort, anItalianate programme by the Scottish Ensemble anda rare performance of a magical work by Luigi Nono.

e festival marks the anniversarycommemorations of the First World War bypresenting World Premieres of four new works: Propatria mori by Edwin Roxburgh, Seven Halts after theSomme by Deborah Pritchard, Rupture by JosephHoward (a 21 year old student from Pickering) and anew work by Michael Zev Gordon. Pianist ClareHammond, trumpeter Simon Desbruslais, tenorJoshua Ellicott and novelist Lucy Beckett also makecontributions to mark the WW1 centenary.

We welcome the Endellion Quartet as artists inresidence, celebrating 35 years together as one of thecountry’s finest chamber groups. ere is also a

series of recitals featuring all the main members ofthe wind family of instruments, with performersincluding the renowned oboist Nicholas Daniel,flautist Adam Walker, clarinetist Julian Bliss,bassoonist Rie Koyama, recorder player CharlotteBarbour-Condini, and saxophonist Amy Dickson.And to explore some of the more weird andwonderful wind instruments (everything from theBulgarian Flute to the Shalmie Pipe!) there are twoextraordinary multi-instrumentalists - StianCarstensen and John Sampson.

e festival’s popular series of Coffee Concertscontinues to bring music to many of the beautifulcountry churches of the area, often featuringoutstanding younger performers. ere is a nod tothe150th anniversary of the birth of Richard Strausswith performances of his Violin Sonata by ElenaUrioste and some of his greatest songs, including theFour Last Songs sung by Christiane Karg. We alsowelcome back to the festival the Orchestra of OperaNorth with Howard Shelley, and the Royal NorthernSinfonia.

On a lighter note, there is a Richard Rodgers Daywhere an all-star cast celebrate the life and work ofthe man who changed popular music for ever. Wealso explore the lesser-known side of Donald Swann– one half of the great comic duo Flanders andSwann, but also the composer of some beautiful andtoo rarely-heard music. And Kathryn Tickell visitsMalton’s Milton Rooms for what is sure to be anunforgettable evening of jigs, reels and evocativeNorthumbrian melodies.

To complete the picture, there are visits by two ofthe country's best-known poets – Carol Ann Duffyand Wendy Cope – a new production of Alice inWonderland to delight all ages, talks, theatre and,unique to Ryedale, a Double Concert at Sledmere andTriple Concert at Castle Howard.

It promises to be an inspiring summer in Ryedaleand the festival looks forward to welcoming old facesand new. I hope you can join us and look forward toseeing you there.

‘Your ever loving son Jack’Joshua Ellicott (tenor)Simon Lepper (piano)

In 1915, Jack Ellicott, aged 19, signed up to joinhis pals in fighting the ‘queer one’. A centurylater, his great-nephew, the tenor Joshua Ellicott,presents a programme of words and music,telling the story of his Great Uncle Jack byreading the letters he sent to his mother andfather and following his journey from Blackpoolto Tunbridge Wells, then on to France and intothe trenches from where he would never return,killed in combat at the Somme.

Jack’s letters are often funny, surprising anddeeply moving, a portrait of a youth on the cuspof manhood, with all of its joys and sorrows. einterspersed songs performed by Joshua Ellicottand Simon Lepper complete a moving andunique musical portrait.

‘Deservedly huge cheers at the end of the night went to Joshua Ellicott ... musical distinction,emotional precision and a keen dramatic urgency’ –Boston Globe
