SUMMARY:ESO String Orchestra - Elgar's Strings in Malvern (Elgar Festival 2025)
DESCRIPTION:The English String Orchestra\, conducted by Kenneth Woods\, is joined by Rosalind Ventris (viola). \nPerhaps no other orchestra has done as much to champion the incredible tradition of British music for strings as the legendary English String Orchestra\, whose recordings carry the music of England from Elgar to today to listeners worldwide. William Walton was perhaps the true heir of Elgar’s legacy\, and his Sonata for Strings is one of the highest peaks in the string orchestra literature. The programme begins with a set of short pieces that showcase Elgar’s genius for the miniature and moves on to works showcasing two of today’s most engaging and exciting composers\, Peter Fribbins and Ian Venables. Rosalind Ventris (viola) is the featured soloist.

SUMMARY:Organ Recital and Q&A with David Briggs (Elgar Festival 2025)
DESCRIPTION:Q&A\, 2pm\nConsidered by many to be the greatest organist of modern times\, David Briggs talks about his life in music and how he’s brought the symphonies of Elgar\, Vaughan Williams and even Gustav Mahler into the organ repertoire through his toweringly virtuosic transcriptions. \nRecital\, 3pm\nCan a single musician truly do justice to a work originally written for an orchestra of 100 players? They can if their name is David Briggs\, whose transcriptions of symphonic masterpieces by Mahler\, Vaughan Williams and Elgar have astounded audiences worldwide. Briggs performs his stunning transcription of Sir Edward Elgar’s First Symphony alongside the master’s Organ Sonata and the evocative and beautiful Rhapsody by featured composer Ian Venables.

SUMMARY:Mosey around Mathon (Malvern Walking Festival)
DESCRIPTION:This is a wonderful\, undulating meander in West Malvern and Mathon\, crossing over ridges of Silurian limestone and valleys of Silurian Shale. We pass Hay Slad Spot\, one of the most powerful springs on the hills and an opportunity to fill our water bottles with the fantastic spring water of which Malvern is justifiably proud. 6 stiles and up down of 1\,440 feet. \nSome of the rocks seen near Mathon were formed some 400 million years ago. According to a local author ‘There can be no finer scenery than this\, anywhere in England\, and the village of Mathon emphasises this with its name which is thought to be derived from an Old English word for treasure or gift’. \nThere are several gentle hills to walk over but two very steep climbs on the return leg. \n£5.00 \nDistance: 6 miles\nDuration: 4 hours\nDifficulty: Hard\nDate: 1 June\nStart time: 10:00 am\nWalk leader: Peter Reynolds\nStart location: West of England Quarry car park\nWest Malvern Road\nWR14 4DH\nGrid reference: SO 766448\nWhat3Words: grocers.pardon.forklift\nFurther details:\nBring refreshments\, we will stop half-way for a few minutes to enjoy the incredible views on the top of Cockshot Hill and soak up the delightful atmosphere.

SUMMARY:Discovering the King’s Thirds (Malvern Walking Festival)
DESCRIPTION:Short of cash in the 1630s\, and at odds with Parliament\, King Charles I introduced many imaginative methods of raising revenue. One of these was the King’s Thirds. The archaeology of the older Shire Ditch may be obvious; much less obvious are the hidden features of the King’s Thirds on the northern Malvern Hills. Discover where the banks and ditches were created in the 1630s and their history. \nExploring the King’s enclosures involves some steep sections. The very steep sections have easier alternatives which will be indicated on the day so that the group reunites. 3 hours are allowed for this short 3-mile walk\, with plenty of time for stops and explanations as we explore this fascinating area. \n£5.00 \nDistance: 3 miles\nDuration: 3 hours\nDifficulty: Hard\nDate: 1 June\nStart time: 2:00 pm\nWalk leader: George Demidowicz\nStart location: Meet at the Interpretation board\, West of England car park\nWR14 4DG\nGrid reference: SO 766448\nWhat3Words: hospitals.contracts.patrolled\nFurther details:\nCar park is Pay and Display

SUMMARY:Ben Holder Quartet (Upton Jazz Festival)
DESCRIPTION:Entry by wristband \nBen Holder is the most acclaimed and exciting jazz violinist in the UK. His classical studies began at the age of six and were complemented by training at the Birmingham Conservatoire. An introduction to jazz came in his early teens – classic masters such as Benny Goodman\, Oscar Peterson and Stephane Grappelli – and led Ben to truly find his place as a musician. Ben possesses an innate sense of swing rhythm (something which often eludes classical players)\, breath-taking technical ability and true showmanship on stage. He offers flawless musicianship\, heaps of energy and personality and a visible passion for his craft. Ben’s various awards bear testimony to these abilities. Often playing across the UK\, Europe and further afield\, he is a first-call jazz violinist for many of the country’s top venues\, line-ups and studios. Ben Holder’s Hot Club Quartet is an exciting line-up of talented musicians. Led by young jazz virtuoso Ben Holder on violin and vocals\, the quartet benefits from the slick guitar stylings of Dominic Ashworth\, with Paul Jefferies on bass and Nick Millward on drums. You can expect the best of Hot Club Gypsy Swing with top-notch musicianship and musicality plus energy and excitement in abundance. A show not just of great music\, but also of great rapport and entertainment.

SUMMARY:Cate Cody Trio (Upton Jazz Festival)
DESCRIPTION:Free entry \nMany of the songs Cate choose to put her stamp on belong to that great age of song sophistication\, coming from the pen of the masters of the ‘jazz age’. She does full justice to them\, their melodies caressing\, lyrics expressing\, reflecting on their subtleties and breathing new life into them. Cate is delighted to be accompanied by Dave Green (bass) and Dave Newton (piano). Growing up in Renfrewshire\, Scotland\, Newton had a musical upbringing with the piano trio sound of Peterson\, Tatum or Garner an ever-present feature in the Newton household. After graduating from Leeds College of Music in 1979 and working in the north of thecountry for a while\, he moved to London where he rapidly became a much sought after pianist teaming up with Alan Barnes\, guitarist Martin Taylor and saxophonist Don Weller. He has worked regularly with Carol Kidd\, Marion Montgomery\, Tina May\, Annie Ross\, Claire Martin and of course Stacey Kent. David Newton was voted best Jazz Pianist in the British Jazz awards for the thirteenth time in 2014 and was made a Fellow of Leeds College of Music in 2003.

He playsthe top festivals and jazz clubs around the world\, having an exciting presence and dynamic personality on stage.
