Violinist Daniel Pioro joins pianist Simon Smith for Brahms' three Violin Sonatas, and he joins with the
Marian Consort for a programme of music for dusk including Tom Coult, Arvo Pärt and John Tavener.
Pioro will also bring a deep-listening element, inspired by Pauline Oliveros, to a festival walk, and the
violinist is also inviting people to drop in to his practice session at the Red House. And Pioro is the
soloist in Britten Violin Concerto with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Ryan Wigglesworth.

There will be a new staging of Britten’s church parable Curlew River, 60 years after its first
performance, directed by Claire van Kampen with music director Audrey Hyland and tenor Ian
Bostridge, baritone Peter Braithwaite, bass-baritone Sir Willard White and singers and alumni from
the Britten Pears Young Artists programme. Alongside this will be a rare chance to
experience Sumidagawa (“Sumida River”), one of the most renowned Noh plays, which inspired
Britten’s church parable Curlew River. Other Britten at the festival includes suites from The Prince of
the Pagodas and Death in Venice, St Nicholas (as part of a concert recreating the festival's opening
concert from 1948).
