Malcolm Arnold festival

Malcolm Arnold Festival – a captivating concert film that transports you to the heart of Bedford Sinfonia’s luminous performance. Under the deft baton of conductor Ian Smith, the orchestra brings a vibrant program alive: Daniel Fergie leads the oboe solo with expressive depth, while Junyu Zhou’s saxophone breathes contemporary energy. The stage is enriched by Gonçalo Maia Caetano’s guitar artistry and Ben Goldsheider’s commanding horn playing. Enjoy a highlight set of masterworks: William Walton’s “Concerto for Oboe,” followed by the dramatic “Henry V: Two Pieces for Strings.” The programme then shifts to a soulful “Concerto for Saxophone” and a brief intermission, after which Ruth Gipps’ “Serenade for Guitar – Cinglemire Garden” enchants listeners, culminating in a stirring “Lento for Strings” by Malcolm Williamson, and finally the soaring “Concerto for Horn No 2.” Experience the artistry, the precision, and the passion of each soloist and the full orchestra in a film that celebrates timeless musical brilliance.
