SUMMARY:Morpheus
DESCRIPTION:“One of the most exciting young singers this country has produced in years” (MusicOMH)\, countertenor Hugh Cutting brings his Refound Ensemble to Beverley for ‘Morpheus’\, an exploration of songs of the night. \nNocturnal dreams and encounters have inspired some of the greatest music ever written. This immersive evocation of night-time doesn’t only travel from Purcell and Cavalli to Britten\, Howells\nand Schubert; it also reaches into folk\, cabaret\, even Don McLean’s Vincent (Starry\, starry night) – resonances of human experience through the ages. From viols to vibraphone\, clarinet to celeste\,\nthis is a magical mystical soundworld\, starring the 2025 International Opera Awards Rising Star Award-winner\, whose performances have been acclaimed worldwide.

SUMMARY:Old habits\, new tricks
DESCRIPTION:What draws you to attend particular concerts? Is it the performer? Music you already love? Or the opportunity to discover something new? Do you relish hours spent in the same musical time or\nplace? Or is variety the spice of your musical life? \nIn this talk\, music journalist\, broadcaster and cultural historian Flora Willson traces changing fashions in concert programming from the late 18th century to today\, right here at New Paths! She explores what those shifts mean for how we listen and what we value in music – and ponders their impact on her own role as a critic.

SUMMARY:Echoes of autumn
DESCRIPTION:As the market bustles outside and the morning light streams through the windows of St Mary’s\, our handpicked team of chamber-musicians-in-residence sparkle in Mozart’s effervescent E flat major Piano Quartet. \nBy contrast\, Elgar’s Piano Quintet was written as the nation recovered from war\, and as the composer stepped into the autumn of his own life: passionate and deeply felt\, this music never fails to move. \nNew Paths Collective: Roberto Ruisi (violin) | Yume Fujise (violin) | Jane Atkins (viola) | Leo Popplewell (cello) | Libby Burgess (piano)

SUMMARY:White Chrysanthemum
DESCRIPTION:Written in the aftermath of war\, the string quartets by Grażyna Bacewicz and Benjamin Britten featured in this concert are works of biting drama and brilliance. While the Vivo last movement of the Bacewicz fizzes with virtuosity and charm\, the monumental Chacony which closes the Britten is a homage to Henry Purcell. \nOur elite string players complete their powerful programme with a haunting lament by Puccini: in Italy white chrysanthemums (crisantemi) are a symbol of mourning and remembrance. \nBacewicz: String Quartet No 3\nPuccini: Crisantemi\nBritten: String Quartet No 2 \nNew Paths Collective: Roberto Ruisi (violin) | Yume Fujise (violin) | Jane Atkins (viola) | Leo Popplewell (cello)

SUMMARY:Wachet auf
DESCRIPTION:A former winner of BBC Young Musician\, and one of the great pianists of his generation\, Martin James Bartlett makes his debut in Beverley\, with a delightful programme centred around Mozart’s Rondo ‘alla Turca’. Baroque transcriptions collide with romantic classics for this matinee performance. \nBach (arr. Kempff): Wachet auf\nBach: Siciliano\nHandel: Chaconne in G\nMozart: Piano Sonata No 11 in A K331\nChopin: Nocturne in D flat\nFauré: Nocturne No 6 in D flat; Romance without words\nGranados: Los Requiebros (from Goyescas) \n“The wit and colour in pianist Martin James Bartlett’s playing was thrilling.” (The Times)

SUMMARY:Arpeggione
DESCRIPTION:An all-star collective of some of the country’s finest string players is assembled for the festival\, and in this coffee concert we showcase two of them. Schubert’s soulful ‘Arpeggione’ Sonata holds a unique place in the chamber music repertoire; it is paired with James MacMillan’s haunting and dramatic Cello Sonata No 1\, infused with the music of the Highlands. \nNew Paths veterans Jane Atkins and Leo Popplewell join Libby Burgess for an enchanting start to the day.

DESCRIPTION:Evocative songs from around the British Isles\, featuring national treasure Roderick Williams – hailed by the Daily Telegraph as “our greatest living baritone”. A formidable wordsmith\, Roderick’s warm personality and “rich\, burnished baritone” (New York Times) have captivated audiences around the world. He joins Libby Burgess\, praised by the Observer for her “warm\, sensitive pianism”. \nSongs by Gurney\, Clarke\, Trimble\, and Ireland – including The Cloths of Heaven and Sea Fever – mirror the themes of love\, travel and nature found in the centrepiece of the programme:\nFinzi’s musical homage to Thomas Hardy\, Earth and Air and Rain. \nA starry close to the first day of the festival.

SUMMARY:Double time
DESCRIPTION:Schumann: Piano Quintet in Eb\nBrahms: Clarinet Quintet in B minor \nTwo great quintets draw the festival to a close\, the Sacconi Quartet joined by Libby for Schumann’s uplifting piano quintet and by Julian Bliss for Brahms’ autumnal clarinet quintet. The yearning\, soaring lines and melancholic\, dark textures of the Brahms are offset by the high-spirited\, glittering writing of the Schumann. \nWhen Schumann met Brahms for the first time he wrote of the ‘new paths’ in the young composer’s style\, so it is appropriate that we give our namesake composers the last word this year! \nPerformers: Julian Bliss\, Libby Burgess\, Sacconi Quartet

SUMMARY:Spring eternal
DESCRIPTION:Beethoven: Sonata for violin and piano in F\, ‘Spring’\nStrauss: Sonata in Eb for violin and piano \nPraised by the Guardian for ‘finely judged detail\, expansiveness and lots of heart’\, violinist Sophie Rosa joins Martin in two radiant sonatas – the ever-popular ‘Spring’ from Beethoven\, and the less frequently heard sonata of Strauss. Strauss is better known for his song and opera writing\, and that lyrical voice permeates this magnificent work: written in the year he met his future wife\, this is passionate and exuberant music. \nA rapt central movement – so immediately popular that Strauss allowed it to be published separately – gives way to cascading virtuosity and glorious\, orchestral ardour. \nPerformers: Sophie Rosa\, Martin Roscoe

SUMMARY:Echoes of spring
DESCRIPTION:Schubert: Shepherd on the Rock\nBrahms: Trio for clarinet\, cello and piano\nSchubert: Ständchen\, Schwanengesang\, Die Forelle\, Dass sie hier gewesen\, Wanderers Nachtlied\, Die Junge Nonne \nWorld renowned clarinettist Julian Bliss joins us for the last day of the festival\, performing two concerts. Brahms had all but given up composing when he discovered the sound of the clarinet: the result was a clutch of late\, glorious chamber works for that instrument\, including the quintet (tonight) and this trio. \nTempestuous and amorous by turn\, the trio exploits the warm combination of clarinet\, cello and piano. \nSoprano Ailish Tynan presents a set of Schubert songs\, culminating in his joyful Shepherd on the Rock\, where voice and clarinet weave together as lovers look forward to being reunited in spring. \nPerformers: Ailish Tynan\, Julian Bliss\, Cara Berridge\, Libby Burgess

SUMMARY:Archduke
DESCRIPTION:Haydn: Trio in A Hob XV/18\nBeethoven: Trio in B flat Op 97 ‘Archduke’ \nMartin formed the Roscoe Trio with Fenella Humphreys and Jessica Burroughs in 2018 and here they bring a programme of trios from two great composers. Haydn’s good-natured music\, written in London\, sparkles and dances\, with elegance and infusions of gypsy music: Haydn was in his sixties when he wrote this but the music retains an energy and wit from his younger days. \nBeethoven’s Archduke Trio conversely was written in his early forties but hints at the profundity of his later works: there is a timelessness and spaciousness in its beauty\, but also a grandeur and virtuosity throughout.

SUMMARY:Heartfelt
DESCRIPTION:Panufnik: Heartfelt\nBeethoven: String Quartet in C sharp minor Op 131 \nRoxanna Panufnik’s Heartfelt was commissioned by the Sacconi Quartet in 2019 and is inspired by the heartbeat of a brown bear\, as well as drawing on Uzbek and Bulgarian music. The result is a magical addition to the quartet repertoire\, “a beautiful\, imaginative exploration of that vital\, beating organ” (The Observer) and “shot through with a poignancy that is infinitely touching” (Seen & Heard). \nBeethoven’s late period saw a troubled\, unwell\, deaf man writing music of extraordinary intensity\, innovation and profundity: after his vast ninth symphony\, premiered in 1824\, he turned almost solely to string quartets in his last years. \nThese late quartets were roundly dismissed by the audience of the day: composer Louis Spohr called them ‘indecipherable\, uncorrected horrors’. And yet this music has had a deep effect on generations of composers since\, and is today held to be some of the great art of all time. \nPerformers: Sacconi Quartet

SUMMARY:Talk: In camera - ex camera
DESCRIPTION:As we enjoy the riches of the Beverley Chamber Music Festival\, Katy Hamilton asks: how has ‘chamber’ music shifted through the centuries\, and what does it look like in 2021? \nFrom Haydn’s transformation of small-venue genres into music suitable for a large audience\, to Beethoven’s almost orchestral writing for small groups\, to music outdoors and online\, we explore the amazing adaptability of these intimate ensembles. \nKaty Hamilton’s talks are always a resounding success in Beverley and we are delighted to welcome her back this year.

SUMMARY:Talk: The poetry and music of science
DESCRIPTION:What human qualities are needed to make scientific discoveries\, and which to make great art? Many would point to ‘imagination’ and ‘creativity’ in the second case but not the first. Tom McLeish compares creativity in science and art\, and challenges the assumption that science is in any sense less creative than art. He draws on historical and contemporary examples to provide a broader understanding\, and brings medieval philosophy and theology to bear on current questions of creativity. \nFinding that artists and scientists think imaginatively in visual\, textual and abstract modes\, he will focus on the last one\, where music and mathematics make their mysteries\, for this festival. \nTom McLeish FRS is a theoretical physicist whose work on soft matter is renowned. He is Professor of Natural Philosophy at the University of York.

SUMMARY:Revels ended
DESCRIPTION:Britten: Canticle IV – Journey of the Magi\nSaint-Saëns: Violons dans le soir\nPiazzolla: Tango\nSchubert: Oblivion\nBritten: Canticle II – Abraham and Isaac\nSongs by Purcell and Saint-Saëns \nIn medieval Beverley\, the annual procession of mystery plays captured the imaginations of the whole town. Britten sets two mystery play texts amongst his canticles – colourfully exploring the behind-the-scenes reality of the wise men’s journey from the east\, and heart-stoppingly depicting the story of Abraham\, called by God to sacrifice his own son. \nThe night-time theme of the Magi journey is picked up in Purcell’s radiant Evening Hymn and Schubert’s sublime piano trio Notturno. A more sultry nocturnal mood is captured in Piazzolla’s tango\, marking the Argentinian composer’s centenary\, and for this we’re delighted to welcome back to New Paths violinist Fenella Humphreys. Former RSC and West End actor Richard Avery interleaves the music with short spoken word declamations – a true reflection of the town’s mystery play heritage. \nPerformers: WT\, JE\, GBJ\, FH\, CB\, LB\, RA

SUMMARY:The Rite
DESCRIPTION:Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring \nJames Baillieu and Libby Burgess give a much anticipated performance of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring\, postponed from 2020. This electrifying music provoked riots and disbelief when it was premiered in 1913: the pounding dance rhythms and brutal harmonic language were a far cry from the traditional ballet scores in whose footsteps it followed. \nThe composer’s own piano duet arrangement is virtuousic and gripping: in this\, Stravinsky’s anniversary year\, we celebrate his most notorious and captivating work. \nPerformers: JB\, LB

SUMMARY:Talk: Stravinsky's 'Crime Against Grace'
DESCRIPTION:When the Parisian public encountered The Rite of Spring they found nothing to charm them in the music or the dancing. It was a violent assault on the senses. \nIn this lecture we will talk about the roots and repercussions of this new aesthetic\, and about the three incarnations of The Rite of Spring: as a ballet\, as an orchestral work\, and as a piece for piano duet. \nSpeaker: MFW

SUMMARY:By the dawn's early light
DESCRIPTION:Fauré: Dolly Suite\nCopland: Duo for flute and piano\nHigdon: Pale Yellow\nSaint-Saëns: The Swan\nSongs by Saint-Saëns and Copland \nLibby Burgess and renowned pianist James Baillieu join forces for the first of their two duet appearances today\, Fauré’s beloved\, sunny Dolly Suite. The young Aaron Copland was a great admirer of the elderly Fauré’s music\, and we hear songs from Simple Gifts to Ching-a-Ring Chaw from the American composer\, as well as his expansive\, brilliant Duo for flute and piano. \nFlautist Claire Wickes joins baritone Gareth Brynmor John for Saint-Saëns’ beguiling Une flûte invisible; Saint-Saëns was Fauré’s teacher and mentor\, and this is his centenary year. Representing a more recent generation of American composers is Jennifer Higdon\, whose short\, evocative Pale Yellow piano trio offers a moment of repose. \nPerformers: GBJ\, CW\, FH\, TL\, JB\, LB

SUMMARY:Late Bach II
DESCRIPTION:Bach: Suite for solo cello in C minor \nOur second late-night Bach concert takes place in the serene Roman Catholic Church of St John of Beverley. Cellist Cara Berridge has been a much-loved feature of New Paths since the beginning\, and here she performs Bach’s solemn\, reflective solo suite in C minor. \nThe scordatura effect of retuning one string a tone lower adds to the dark colour of this music – and yet\, as always with Bach\, the music never fails to dance. \nPerformer: CB

SUMMARY:The arc of time
DESCRIPTION:Kreisler: Praeludium & Allegro\nWeir: Atlantic DriftMcNeff: Three Pieces for Piano (*world premiere*)\nSchubert: An Schwager Kronos; Wandrers Nachtlied\nBritten: Winter Words \n‘Standing upon the shoulders of giants\,’ all composers respond in some way to what has come before them. Kreisler’s popular Praeludium and Allegro\, showcasing violinist Tim Crawford\, was one of many works Kreisler misleadingly attributed to lesser-known Italian baroque composers\, in this case Pugnani: in it\, baroque energy and drive meet romantic fervour. \nWe’re proud to host our eighth world premiere to date\, in Stephen McNeff’s new pieces for piano\, inspired by the late piano music of Brahms\, and written especially for Libby Burgess. \nBritten’s cycle of Hardy settings\, Winter Words\, introduces a host of vividly painted characters – from the wagtail to the violinist lad – and scenes – from the railway station to the poignant choirmaster’s funeral. But it is the passing of time itself that is Hardy’s preoccupation\, and that prompts the most powerful longing in the closing song. Acclaimed tenor Joshua Ellicott visits New Paths for the first time. \nPerformers: JE\, TC\, FH\, LB

DESCRIPTION:Mozart: Flute Quartet in D\nFrances-Hoad: Invocatio\nMozart: String Quintet in G minor \nCheryl Frances-Hoad’s ground-bass Invocatio has a folk-like feel: written in memory of Pamela Majaro\, who founded the Cavatina Trust\, its deliberately childlike quality reflects the trust’s work taking music to young people. \nSandwiching it are two magnificent chamber works by Mozart – music often described as ‘too easy for children\, too difficult for adults.’ Beguiling flautist Claire Wickes joins the New Paths team for Mozart’s sunny D major quartet\, while the tempestuous G minor quintet features the addition of a second viola\, giving the music extra gravitas and endless possibilities for contrapuntal play. \nPerformers: CW\, TC\, MW\, DP\, RV\, CB

Britten’s lifelong habit of arranging folksongs began with his time in America; conversely Barber’s brooding\, powerful Cello Sonata stems from the American composer’s time in Europe. \n  \nCellist Tim Lowe makes a welcome return to the festival and joins Libby Burgess for this major work. Sally Beamish’s Penillion for solo viola makes an evocative journey to Wales\, and is performed by Rosalind Ventris\, one of the leading lights of the viola world. \n  \nSongs by Poulenc and Hahn\, and chamber music by Welsh composer Hilary Tann\, take us to Venice\, Florence\, and war-torn France\, whilst Vaughan Williams’ rarely performed The Last Invocation explores our own\, final\, journeys. \n  \nPerformers: AC\, GBJ\, CW\, TC\, RV\, TL\, LB

SUMMARY:Talk: A Bridge to Italy
DESCRIPTION:Taking Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence as our starting point\, we will talk about Russian musicians’ relationship with Italy. Italian composers and singers had been imported into Russia\, and shaped public taste\, so when Russian composers wanted to create a national music\, they needed to resist all things Italian. And yet the beauty and charm of Italian melodies was so alluring… \nEminent lecturer Marina Frolova-Walker joins us to present two talks during the festival\, following her popular visit to Beverley in 2019. \nSpeaker: MFW
