Our second big success of 2016 was October’s Little Venice Music Festival<\/a>, based at St. Saviour’s, Warwick Avenue<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 right next to the tube station.\u00a0 This was the fifteenth in the festival’s history, and we had the pleasure of performing on two occasions in the past.\u00a0 This year saw us take full responsibility for the weekend, from the programme and artists to tea and cake.<\/p>\n

Building on the existing format of three weekend evening concerts, we included a family concert on the Saturday morning which was the culmination of a short education project in local primary schools \u2013 more about that tomorrow!\u00a0 We also invited the dynamic Ensemble Perpetuo<\/a>\u00a0to perform at the YAA centre<\/a>, a short walk west of St. Saviour’s, and had an extraordinary late-night solo violin recital from Fenella Humphreys<\/a> at the Waterway Restaurant<\/a> (below), a very<\/em> short walk from the church.\u00a0 Fenella brought us the London premi\u00e8re of one of the late Sir Peter Maxwell Davies’s<\/a>\u00a0last works.<\/p>\n

The main evening concerts featured such thrills as a brand new festival opening piece by\u00a0Toby Young<\/a>\u00a0(played by us, the Berkeley Ensemble, alongside Beethoven’s Septet and Ferguson’s Octet, one of our favourite works to perform and\u00a0available on our debut album<\/a>), a fascinatingly eclectic programme of songs with Anna Huntley<\/a>\u00a0and Nicholas Merryweather\u00a0accompanied by Libby Burgess<\/a>, and Adrian Brendel\u00a0and Christopher Glynn<\/a>\u00a0joining the Berkeley Ensemble for Schubert\u00a0and Mozart\u00a0respectively, as well as giving the London premi\u00e8re of one of Michael Berkeley’s<\/a> latest compositions.<\/p>\n

A huge amount of work went into making this weekend happen and we are hugely grateful to the many people who helped us in different ways.\u00a0 As this was our first time organising anything on this scale, we were unsure of what to expect in the way of audience numbers.\u00a0 We were pleasantly surprised to find the audience more than doubled compared with last year’s festival.\u00a0 The feedback has been extremely encouraging and we look forward to many more music-packed in Little Venice in the years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
