Malcolm Arnold Festival - a day of live music in Northampton
One of England’s most colourful and charismatic composers – Sir Malcolm Arnold (1921-2006) – is to be celebrated at the 19th International Malcolm Arnold Festival; an annual programme of events centred around the multi-faceted composer and his music.
The composer’s hometown of Northampton will host a day of live music-making on Saturday 19 October. Festival Director Paul Harris says: “This year we are offering three concerts at different venues within central Northampton – the birthplace of Malcolm Arnold – all in walkable distances from each other.”
Demonstrating the exuberance of Arnold’s works and some of his finest and most popular tunes, the Festival’s Gala Concert takes place at Northampton Guildhall and will be performed by the Northamptonshire County Youth Concert Band and Orchestra (NMPAT) who are regular guests at the Festival. The Festival will end with a short Symposium hosted by Matthew Taylor discussing all things Arnold.
Refer to the website for full details of venues and programmes for other concerts taking place during the day at 11:00 and 14:30.
