Festival Kicks off with Symphony Concert

Just one week to the opening concert of the 2013 Rye Arts
Festival on Saturday 14 September.

And the Rye audience will have a treat with a symphony concert by Euphonia Works conducted by Alasdair Kitchen Tamsin Waley-Cohen on violin.

Alasdair has brought the Euphonia Works orchestra, comprising young and talented professional musicians at the start of their careers, to Rye for the last two years to perform at an Opera on each occasion. Rye Arts Festival classical music director Peter Brice liked them so much he has invited them back to play in their own right!






And the orchestra are being joined by one of the UK's most talented violinists Tamsin Waley-Cohen to play Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in D minor. They will also perform Mozart's Symphony 29 in A Major and Beethoven's Symphony No 4 in B Flat major.

The concert is being held in St Mary's Church in the heart of Rye's citadel - a venue the Royal String Quartet from Poland loved so much for its acoustics they wanted to take it down stone by stone and transport it back to Warsaw a couple of years ago!

Tickets, costing £14 or £10, can be purchased from the Box Office at Phillips & Stubbs, which is open from 89.30am to 1pm Monday to Saturday. Otherwise ring 01797 224442.
