SUMMARY:21st Malcolm Arnold Festival

An affordable Day Ticket provides low‑cost entry\, with free admission for students and under‑18s. An evening Gala Concert is priced separately. \nThe annual celebration of Northampton’s musical genius \nProbably best known for his internationally famous film scores\, symphonic showpieces\, and symphonies\, the Malcolm Arnold Festival is an annual programme of events celebrating one of England’s most prolific\, colourful and charismatic composers – Sir Malcolm Arnold (1921-2006). \nThe festival will be opened at Cripps Hall at 11am by its President\, the internationally renowned cellist and music educator Julian Lloyd Webber\, who shares a profound personal connection with one of the many standout performances.

Fittingly\, it will be Lloyd Webber’s wife\, Jiaxin Lloyd Webber – herself an acclaimed cellist – who will take centre stage in this performance. \nGuest Ensembles and Rising Stars \nJoining Jiaxin will be guest ensembles including Towcester Studio Band – in some of the best of Arnold for brass\, and Roger Coull\, Nicholas Roberts and Lynn Arnold who perform works for violin\, cello and piano. Rising stars from the premier international music academies and conservatoires are also taking part in a wealth of music-making. \nGala Concert promises Arnold Showpieces \nSt Matthew’s Church provides the venue for the festival’s evening Gala Concert at 19:30 when the Northampton Symphony Orchestra presents a rousing celebration of orchestral music by Malcolm Arnold alongside two of his fellow-composers – Ruth Gipps and Shostakovich – performed under the baton of the orchestra’s musical director and life-long Arnold champion John Gibbons BEM. \nFull details are provided on the website as well as a booking link and tickets will also be available on the door.
