It is with enormous pleasure that we present the programme for 2014; the result of countless hours liaising with musicians and their agents, and listening to and watching as many prospective artists as possible either in live performances or on You Tube! This year's Festival promises to be very special with international vocalists and instrumentalists, two Classic Brit Award winners, two BBC Young Musicians of the Year, one of the country's leading string quartets, two premier brass ensembles, an international vocal group and , for the first time at Bradfield, a classical accordionist. To round off the week we have an array of Yorkshire based musicians and singers to present "Vive la France!", a tour of French music and song and our tribute to the "Tour de France" visiting Bradfield the week a�er the Festival. We continue to support the Sheffield Music Service and on Monday evening we include recitals from Hannah Blumsohn and Clare Rees-Zimmerman, this year's Young Musician Award Winners.
Despite ever-increasing costs we continue to price tickets on a "not-for-profit" basis thanks to the tremendous support we receive from our sponsors, patrons and friends. The Festival does not belong to any individual or group; it belongs to the community. If you feel you would like to be involved and make a contribution in any way whatsoever, please get in touch with us. There are a multitude of tasks to be performed in order to deliver a successful festival and administrative help as well as muscle power will be welcome. We are always on the lookout for new sponsors and advertisers, their contributions ensuring admission charges are kept to a minimum and a quality festival is presented to the public.
The Festival Commi�ee is pleased to announce the line up of artistes for 2015. The Festival runs from 20th June - 27th June.
Onyx Brass, described by BBC Music magazine as "the classiest brass ensemble in Great Britain", are newcomers to the Festival and lovers of brass music of every genre are in for a treat.
2012 performers 4 Girls 4 Harps return by popular demand, appearing once again with local soprano, Ella Taylor, the 2010 winner of the coveted title of BBC Chorister of the Year.
Jennifer Pike is firmly established amongst the finest violinists of her generation. In 2002, aged 12, she became the youngest winner of the BBC Young Musician of the Year, and the youngest major prize-winner in the Menuhin International Violin Competition.
Amy Dickson became the first saxophonist to win the 2013 MasterCard Breakthrough Artist of the Year Classic Brit Award. Amy will appear with Romanian born pianist, Rebeca Omodia, winner of many prizes in national and international piano competitions. Rebeca started working as a duo partner with Julian Lloyd Webber until his recent retirement due to health reasons.
Since its formation in 1972 the Brodsky Quartet has performed over 2000 concerts on the major stages of the world and released more than 50 recordings. This ensemble is at the very forefront of the international chamber music scene.
"Viennese Fever" is directed by, and features, violinist, fiddler and composer Adam Summerhayes with his 9-piece ensemble. They will perform pieces by Johan Strauss, Lehar and ever popular gems by the legendary Viennese violinist Fritz Kreisler.
We round off the week with the World Champion Cantamus Girls Choir. If you missed this choral extravaganza in 2013, be sure to come along in 2015.
BA Message from the
Festival President
Welcome back to another fantastic celebration of music
in beautiful Bradfield! Looking at this year’s programme
I honestly feel that it is possibly the best one yet.
Some of you may know that I am unable to continue
playing for medical reasons but I am so happy to see Laura
van der Heijden at Bradfield – the future of the cello is safe
in her hands.
And, whatever you do don’t miss the opening concert
featuring two of the finest young talents you will hear
anywhere in the world. All the concerts are rich and varied
and, together they cover a very wide spectrum of music.
I am certain that you will enjoy a week of wonderful music
making in a marvellous setting.
All the very best
Julian Lloyd Webber

MILOŠ with Ksenija Sidorova (accordion)
One of the ho�est properties in classical music, Miloš came to
international a�ention in 2011 with his debut album The
Guitar (Mediterráneo) which, in the space of just a few
months, topped classical charts around the world, became an
internationally best selling sensation and earned Miloš
Gramophone's prestigious Young Artist of the Year Award.
As an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon recording artist, Miloš
Karadaglic ́ released his second album Latino (Pasión) in 2012
and went on to receive both Classic Brit (UK) and Echo Klassik
(Germany) awards.
Miloš' passion for the guitar is matched with an intuitive sense
of how to bring the instrument across to his public – whether it
be for an audience of 3000 in the Royal Albert Hall or an
intimate chamber music performance for 100 people. He enjoys
performing in the major concert halls as much as in non
traditional venues such as New York's Le Poisson Rouge,
London's Camden Roundhouse (iTunes Festival) and Deutsche
Grammophon's Yellow Lounge club nights in London, Berlin,
Amsterdam, Madrid, New York and Seoul. The 2013 - 2014
season has taken Miloš to new heights, with extensive tours
throughout Europe, America and the Middle East, in recitals
and concert performances, as well as appearances at prestigious
festivals such as Cheltenham (UK) , Ravinia (USA), Gstaad
(Switzerland), Rheingau and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
(Germany).
Born in Montenegro in 1983, Miloš Karadaglic ́ first started
playing the guitar at the age of 8. When he was 17 he
successfully applied for a scholarship to study at the Royal
Academy of Music and moved to London where he continues
to live while keeping close ties with his family and homeland.
Miloš is a passionate supporter of music education and acts as a
Patron of the Mayor of London Fund for Young Musicians and
the charity Awards for Young Musicians.
He uses D'Addario J 46 strings and plays a 2007 Greg Smallman
guitar, kindly lent to him by Paul and Jenny Gillham.
Tonight he is joined by Ksenija Sidorova the accomplished
classical accordian player with whom he has collaborated and
performed with in recent times.
Born in Latvia in 1988 Ksenija Sidorova was encouraged
to take up the accordion by her grandmother, who has roots in
the folk tradition of accordion playing. Ksenija started to play
the instrument aged eight in her home town of Riga, under the
guidance of Marija Gasele. Wanting more exposure to both
classical and contemporary repertoire and also more concert
opportunities, her studies took her to London where she was a
prize-winning undergraduate and subsequently received a
Masters Degree with Distinction at the Royal Academy of
Music, where she studied with Professor Owen Murray.
Outside the RAM her awards included a Philharmonia
Orchestra Martin Musical Scholarship Fund Award and
Philharmonia Orchestra Friends Award.
In 2009 Ksenija was a joint winner of “Friends of the Royal
Academy of Music Wigmore Award”. The same year she was
also made a Recommended Artist under Making Music's Philip
& Dorothy Green Award scheme. She was also selected to
appear in Park Lane Group Young Artists New Year Series,
2009, and was described by The Times as “one of the real finds
of the series”. She is also a recipient of the Worshipful
Company of Musicians Silver Medal, Maisie Lewis Award and
was the first accordionist to win the prestigious WCoM Princes
Prize. In 2012 Ksenija became the first International Award
winner of the Bryn Terfel Foundation.

Fine Arts Brass Classical Brass Quintet
Fine Arts Brass is now in its thirtieth year and firmly
established at the forefront of the international brass chamber
music scene.
Originally formed in 1980, the ensemble took the name of the
place of its first rehearsal, The Barber Institute of Fine Arts at
Birmingham University. The group's enduring success is due to
its uncanny chameleon-like adaptability to different audience
requirements. These can range from educational concerts for
primary school children to broadcasts suitable for BBC Radios 2,
3 or 4. With the combination of their unique versatility of sound,
eminent humour and passion for the music they play, it is easy
to see why they have toured to over 60 countries and performed
in just about every music festival in the UK.
Their repertoire is as comprehensive as you would expect from
such artists, encapsulating all musical genres from the
Renaissance and Baroque to the sound worlds of the avant
garde. Equally, when they play Swing, they swing! They also
have a penchant for commissioning new works (over 50 to date)
and have enjoyed working closely with the composers who have
wri�en for them: Malcolm Arnold, Robin Holloway, Michael
Nyman, John Woolrich & Michael Torke to name but a few.
More info at: www.fineartsbrass.co.uk

RSAMD - by taking first prize in the 1996 International Brass

Laura van der Heijden with Huw Watkins (accompanist)
At the age of 15, cellist Laura van der Heijden was awarded
the title of BBC Young Musician 2012, performing Walton's
Cello Concerto with Kirill Karabits and the Northern
Sinfonia at The Sage, Gateshead.
Born in England as the youngest daughter of a Dutch father and
a Swiss mother, Laura's musical studies started on recorder at
the age of four. A�er learning with Marina Logie on cello, Laura
had grade 8 distinctions on both cello and piano by the age of
ten. In 2005 Laura joined the Junior Department of the Royal
College of Music, where she enjoys playing music with her
peers. Since 2008 Laura has been a student of the renowned
British-Russian cellist Leonid Gorokhov. They perform together
in the UK and in Germany.
In 2010 she won “Erster Preis mit Auszeichnung” (full marks)
and a special prize in the final of the Swiss National Youth
Music Competition, which led to her performing the Boccherini
Cello Concerto in G with the Zurich Kammer Orchestra at the
Zurich Tonhalle in January 2011. She was also the 2011 winner
of the Marjorie Humby competition at the Royal College of
Music, 2011 Beckenham Musician of the Year and 2012 Woking
Young Musician of the Year and was awarded the 2012
Director's Prize at RCM Junior Department.
Laura's first public performance as a cellist was at the age of 9
with the Jupiter Chamber Orchestra. Since then, she has given
many recitals and played with various orchestras. Last season
saw her perform Walton's Cello Concerto with the Royal
Philharmonic Orchestra (Cadogan Hall) and Guernsey
Symphony Orchestra. Dvorak's Cello Concerto with the Royal
Philharmonic Orchestra and Colchester, Worthing and Woking
Symphony Orchestras, Haydn Concerto in C with the European
Union Chamber Orchestra and Vivaldi Concerto for 2 cellos with
Leonid Gorokhov.
This season includes performances of the Elgar concerto with the
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (Royal Festival Hall) and the
London Mozart Players, performances of the Saint-Saëns Cello
Concerto in A minor with the English Chamber Orchestra, Dvorak
Concerto with Het Gelders Orkest, Haydn Concerto in C with the
European Union Chamber Orchestra and Tchaikovsky's Rococo
Variations with the BBC Sco�ish Symphony Orchestra, alongside
recitals with Huw Watkins, Alison Rhind and Mana Oguchi.
Laura lives in Sussex where she visits her local secondary school
(Sackville in East Grinstead) and enjoys as much of a teenage
social life as her commitment to music allows for.
She plays a 1935 cello by Galileo Arcellaschi.
More info at: www.lauravanderheijden.org
Accompanying Laura will be composer and pianist Huw Watkins.
Huw is in great demand with orchestras and festivals including
the London Sinfonie�a, Bri�en Sinfonia, the BBC orchestras and
Aldeburgh and Cheltenham Festivals.
He was born in Wales in 1976 and studied piano with Peter
Lawson at Chetham’s School of Music and composition with
Robin Holloway, Alexander Goehr and Julian Anderson at

awarded the Constant and Kit Lambert Junior Fellowship at the
Royal College of Music, where he later taught composition.
Huw is currently Professor of Composition at the Royal
Academy of Music and has been appointed as the Royal
Philharmonic Society and PRS for Music Foundation’s Composer

Benjamin Grosvenor and The Endellion String Quartet
British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor is internationally
recognized for his electrifying performances and penetrating
interpretations. An exquisite technique and ingenious flair for
tonal colour are the hallmarks which make Benjamin
Grosvenor one of the most sought-a�er young pianists in the
world. His virtuosic command over the most strenuous
technical complexities never compromises the formidable
depth and intelligence of his interpretations.
Benjamin first came to prominence as the outstanding winner of
the Keyboard Final of the 2004 BBC Young Musician Competition
at the age of eleven. Since then, he has become an internationally
regarded pianist performing with orchestras including the
London Philharmonic, RAI Torino, New York Philharmonic,
Philharmonia, Tokyo Symphony, and in venues such as the Royal
Festival Hall, Barbican Centre, Singapore’s Victoria Hall, The
Frick Collection and Carnegie Hall (at the age of thirteen).
Benjamin has worked with numerous esteemed conductors
including Vladimir Ashkenazy, Jiří Bělohlávek, Semyon Bychkov,
Andrey Boreyko and Vladimir Jurowski. At just nineteen,
Benjamin performed with the BBC Symphony Orchestra on the
First Night of the 2011 BBC Proms to a sold-out Royal Albert
Hall. Benjamin returned to the BBC Proms in 2012, performing
with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Charles Dutoit.
During his brief, but sensational career to date, Benjamin has
received Gramophone’s ‘Young Artist of the Year’ and
‘Instrumental Award’, a Classic Brits ‘Critics’ Award’, UK ‘Critics’
Circle Award’ for Exceptional Young Talent and a Diapason d’Or
‘Jeune Talent’ Award.
Benjamin continues to incorporate chamber music collaborations
into his schedule, including collaborations with the Escher String
Quartet and Elias Quartet, as well as a performance at the Queen
Elizabeth Hall’s International Chamber Music Series with the
Endellion String Quartet with whom Benjamin performs tonight
at the Bradfield Festival of Music.
The Endellion String Quartet is renowned as one of
the finest quartets in the world. Over the years, its schedule has
included regular tours of North and South America and concerts
in Australasia, the Far East, the Middle East, South Africa and
every West European country. Everywhere, the Endellion String
Quartet 'sets the audience ablaze' (Daily Telegraph) and
'captivates concertgoers with a remarkable rapport, playing to
each other with a sense almost of discovery, communicating to
the audience on a level of unusual intimacy' (Guardian).
In Britain, the Endellion String Quartet has appeared at nearly all
of the major series and festivals and has broadcast many times on
BBC radio and television; it has appeared at the Proms and it has
been featured in the week-long programmes 'Artist of the Week'
and 'Artists in Focus'. Its presence in London has been marked by
several series both at the Southbank Centre and Wigmore Hall,
where the Quartet members were Artistic Directors of several
'Quartet Plus' series.
They have worked with guest artists including members of the
former Amadeus Quartet, Sir Thomas Allen, Joshua Bell, Michael
Collins, Steven Isserlis, Mitsuko Uchida and Tabea Zimmermann.
In 1996 the quartet were winners of the Royal Philharmonic
Society Award for Best Chamber Ensemble.
The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (2000)
concludes that "The Endellion is arguably the finest quartet in
Britain, playing with poise, true intonation, excellent balance and
a beautiful tone. In music of the Viennese Classical composers it
has few challengers but it has won praise in a wide repertory, its
Beethoven and Bartók cycles being especially admired.”
