Spirit of Place: Artists, Writers and the British Landscape British landscape painting is often said to be an invention of the eighteenth century. Yet when we look for representations of the country in British art and literature, we find a story that begins with Old English poetry and continues its winding path up to the present day. Spirit of Place offers a panoramic view of the British landscape as seen through the eyes of writers and artists from Bede and the Gawain poet to Gainsborough, Austen, WG Sebald and Barbara Hepworth.
The Buxton International Festival is proud to launch its inaugural BIF Chamber Ensemble initiative at this year’s summer festival. The BIF Chamber Ensemble is a platform to provide mentoring, engagement, and performance opportunities to talented chamber ensembles working in the United Kingdom. There has never been a more important time to support emerging professional musicians, many of whom have been badly affected by the pandemic. The project will provide the ensemble with five concerts, two at the festival and three more throughout the year in local National Trust properties. Our very first BIF Chamber Ensemble for 2021 is the multi-talented Corran Quartet. The quartet studied with James Boyd and Catherine Manson through ‘MusicWorks’ and performed live on BBC Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’. Supported by Granada Foundation
