Thank you to our parents, pupils, professional musicians, the Yehudi Menuhin School, Windlesham House, West Sussex Gifted and Talented programme and the Festival's audience for making the Shipley Arts Festival 2010 such a success to date. Jon Lord opened the Festival with his music including the highly acclaimed new album 'To Notice Such Things' with Bernardi Music Group, Bruce Martin (flute) and the Festival's West Sussex Gifted and Talented String Academy. Subsequently Shipley Church hosted our highly regarded Chamber Ensemble which included a distinguished performance of J.S.Bach's Brandenburg Concerto no.2. This oustanding work has been mirrored by Malcolm Singer's new work for the 2010 Festival 'The Margraves Dream.' The Music Group has commissioned over twenty new works several of which have entered the mainstream repertory.
In 2009 the Shipley Arts Festival and Bernardi Music Group commissioned Jon Lord (former Deep Purple keyboard player) to write a work as our annual Shipley Arts Festival Commission. We are delighted that 'To Notice such Things' by Jon Lord opened this year's festival and has appeared in the Telegraph here . Jon's new album with 'To Notice Such Things' has also achieved editors choice whilst being voted fourth best 2010 classical release world wide in Gramaphone magazine.
