One of England’s most colourful and charismatic composers – Sir Malcolm Arnold (1921-2006) – is to be celebrated this weekend, October 14-15, at the 18th International Malcolm Arnold Festival; an annual programme of events centred around the multi-faceted composer and his music. This year returning to the composer’s birthplace, the city of Northampton, there will be live music, talks and a masterclass over the weekend, and broadcasting from around the UK as part of a specially procured programme will be a digital live-stream day on Sunday October 29.
Following the most ambitious Festival yet in 2022, Director Paul Harris is continuing both the live and digital format with something to reach out to all listeners - live concerts, talks, and a clarinet masterclass to be given by Emma Johnson MBE, and a specially conceived live-streamed day, linking up with performances from locations around the UK connected to the composer’s eventful life.
