return to a| |||||||more usual pattern
with 8 live concerts| |||||||together
with an open rehearsal,
outreach| |||||||events for both Winchester
Go LD and St
John's Charity,
and an illustrated
talk. The| |||||||combined
programme
enabled
us to fulfil all| |||||||aspects of our Aims and Objectives.
Audiences
were enthusiastic
and whilst
initial
ticket sales were a little disappointing,
later
concerts were virtually
sold out.| |||||||There was a strong educational
element to this
year's festival
with a highly successful
family
concert, an excellent talk, a masterclass,| |||||||concerts
in local primary
schools, a very
exciting collaboration
with Winchester| |||||||Camerata
(an amateur
string orchestra),
and
the mentoring
ofa young
violinist who| |||||||performed
side by side with the professionals.
The prize-winning
duo from the Birmingham
International
Piano Chamber
Music| |||||||Competition
gave a recital which had been| |||||||arranged
as part oftheir prize.| |||||||A carefully
crafted and beautifully
balanced
and varied programme
was on offer with the| |||||||traditional
late night slot replaced
by a
fascinating
exploration
ofthe Hardanger
Fiddle
and Scandinavian
music. Women composers
were well represented
with works by Fanny
Mendelssohn,
Amy Beach and Isabel Mundry.| |Unfortunately
two ofthe main performers,
including
the Artistic Director, Kate Gould,
were unable to perform because ofCovid. The| |---| |necessary
last-minute
changes ofpersonnel
and a few adaptations
to the repertoire| |(surprisingly
few) were managed
with seeming
ease, and with artists demonstrating| |remarkable
adaptability
and most generous
and friendly
support
for the Festival. One ofthe
casualties
was the postponing
of Huw Watkins'| |Piano Quartet to a future festival,
but we were
able to enjoy Colin Matthew's
Oboe Quartet as
planned
with the composer present.
An
unexpected
bonus was the Poulenc Oboe| |Sonata,
in a spellbinding
performance
from
Olivier Stankiewicz
and Huw Watkins. Other| |highlights
included
the Elgar Introduction
and| |Allegro with the Castalian
Quartet
taking on the
solo roles joined by Winchester
Camerata,
and
the Castalian's
own performance
ofSibelius'| |Voces Intimae quartet.| |There was a very successful
Autumn| |Fundraiser
Concert where the members
ofThe
London Bridge Trio generously
donated
their
services. This raised f1500towards
the 2022| |Festival.| |During the year the Trustees
met formally
on
four occasions. We welcomed
