The Official Malcolm Arnold Festival 2011

Celebrating Sir Malcolm's 90th The chance to hear all of Sir Malcolm Arnold's wonderful symphonies in one weekend is probably a never to be repeated opportunity. Not only do these nine masterpieces fascinatingly represent the time in which they were written but they also provide an insight into the mind of one of the twentieth century's most intriguing composers. Arnold once said 'All my music is autobiographical' and no where is this more true than in these nine extraordinary works. In addition to the symphonies the weekend will be punctuated by many short talks given by those who have a particular connection or interest with each work and performances of many of Sir Malcolm's shorter and smaller scale works written around the same time as each symphony. The great actor Robert Hardy has agreed to launch the Festival on the Friday evening. We much look forward to seeing you.
