New Paths Opens this week
Mon 1st April 2019
Join 30 exceptional musicians and festival-goers from across the country in our beautiful Yorkshire market town this week as New Paths heads out.
Each day of the festival features a quintet, beginning on Thursday with Vaughan Williams’ ravishing Piano Quintet performed by Martin Roscoe, Eva Thorarindottir, Lena Eckels, Tim Lowe and John Tattersdill.
On Friday we hear Finzi’s gorgeous Interlude for oboe and string quartet featuring oboist James Turnbull, whose beautiful playing is well-known to New Paths' audience.
Saturday afternoon’s quintet is Schubert's effervescent Trout Quintet in Toll Gavel. Artistic director Libby Burgess is joined by Hannah Dawson, Lena Eckels, Cara Berridge and John Tattersdill for the performance of this great work.
The final quintet of the festival is Howells’ stunning Rhapsodic Quintet performed by clarinettist John Slack. It is the centrepiece of Eternal Source, the second of the free afternoon ‘Moments to Reflect’ – short introspective concerts in each of Beverley’s extraordinary medieval churches, the Minster and St Mary’s. If you’ve never visited these masterpieces of church architecture, next week is an incredible opportunity to do so.
