Concert British Music Festival: Delphine Trio
Het Delphine Trio en British Music Festival Holland presenteren met trots een programma met Britse muziek, geschreven tussen 1913 en 2023. Het concert op 16 juni 2024 omvat drie werken voor klarinettrio van zeer uiteenlopende aard: romantische, impressionistische muziek van John Ireland, de wereldpremière van een evocatief trio van de gevierde componist-violist Simon Rowland Jones, en het diep spirituele "Fantasy on an American Hymn Tune" van Kenneth Leighton, waarin verschillende hedendaagse stijlen zijn verwerkt, waaronder jazz. Dit laatste staat op het debuutalbum "Adrift" van het Trio, dat eerder in 2024 verscheen bij het label TRPTK.
British Music Festival Holland
Before having moved to The Netherlands to study, Festival Director Harry Broom never really appreciated British Classical music. It was since living abroad he came to find out about the wonders of British music and how incredible it is. Thus, with this inspiration, he had an idea to curate something putting British music into the spotlight, hence the British Music Festival Holland was born in 2022. Its first edition will hope to be one of many additions to come annually. The idea of the festival is to celebrate British classical music in it entirety. It hopes to reach a wider audience and introduce some unknown pieces. It will be a platform in which invited musicians perform works from Dowland to Bridge to Britten and beyond to today. The festival will also include extensive information about British music to present a clearer idea for the audience. With this combined, the festival hopes to be enlightening, informative and memorable.
The Delphine Trio brings together three passionate young musicians from opposite ends of the globe: Australian clarinetist Magdalenna Krstevska, Dutch cellist Jobine Siekman and pianist Roelof Temmingh, hailing from South Africa. Founded in 2020 at the Royal College of Music London, the Delphine Trio showcases a combination of individual instrumental talent, intelligent and curious music-making, and a passion for diverse repertoire. Having each completed Masters’ degrees at the RCM, each member of Delphine Trio has also been awarded an RCM Junior Fellowship - a rare combination.
The Delphine Trio were finalists in the 2022 Royal Overseas League Competition in London and have recorded at the Abbey Rd Studios. They have performed in salon concerts across London, at the Mosterdzaadje in the Netherlands, and recently performed a sold out recital in the Royal Albert Hall’s Elgar Room. Earlier this year they were awarded the Mengelberg Fonds bursary to participate in masterclasses abroad. They have received coaching from esteemed musicians including Colin Lawson, Richard Lester and Timothy Lines.
The Delphine Trio are avid proponents of diversity in classical music and aim to reflect this through their exploration of repertoire and concert programming. Expanding their knowledge of underrepresented works and composers, they have performed in numerous diversity initiatives at the RCM, such as the FestivALL (the inaugural RCM diversity festival) and the Woodwind Diversity Concert, performing music by Louise Farrenc and Elisabeth Lutyens
