This concert brings together rising-star artists who are set to have stellar careers. Charlotte Saluste-Bridoux needs no introduction to Thaxted audiences as she has performed for us in recent years and is opening our season with the Beethoven Violin Concerto on 20 June. She is joined by clarinettist Jonathan Leibovitz, who is developing his career both as a chamber artist and orchestral soloist across Europe. Both appear under the auspices of the Young Classical Artists Trust. Together with in-demand pianist and former YCAT artist Jonathan Ware they will bring fresh and thrilling musicianship to this colourful and exciting programme.
Thaxted Festival is proud of its tradition of featuring exceptional young musicians in the earlier stages of their careers, and our audiences have always delighted in being able to say ‘we heard them first in Thaxted’. (Think Nigel Kennedy, Nicola Benedetti, Jamie Cullum, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, and many others!)
‘It's evident that Jonathan Leibovitz is an extraordinarily gifted clarinettist. He has that singular ability to mesmerise the listener in everything he does, moulding every phrase with imagination, infallible control and above all with a commanding personality.’ BBC Music Magazine
