| Tewkesbury Abbey, Tewkesbury GL20 5RZ, United Kingdom Thursday 4-Jul-13 06:00pm Noye's Fludde at Tewkesbury Abbey Britten created Noye’s Fludde – regarded by many as still the most inspired and most inspiring piece of music for young people – simply because he passionately believed in bringing children and adults, amateurs and professionals together for community music-making. And he was good at it – at writing satisfying roles for highly trained professional soloists alongside parts for recorder ensembles, handbell ringers and beginner violinists. Making Noye’s Fludde doable for everyone, but at the same time something of substance and sophistication, was just one aspect of Britten’s genius.
This special Cheltenham Music Festival production will bring together over 200 local schoolchildren – singing, acting, playing, making costumes. Gloucestershire Youth Players’ founder Edward Derbyshire will direct, and the set and costumes will be designed by children’s author and illustrator James Mayhew. | ||

| Pittville Pump Room, Cheltenham, Cheltenham GL52 3JE, United Kingdom Monday 8-Jul-13 11:00am Beethoven & Britten from the Carducci Quartet After highly successful appearances in the last two festivals, the Carduccis return to Cheltenham for a mini-residency – performing in Noye’s Fludde, giving children’s concerts and finishing with this Pittville recital. Alongside one of the quartets Beethoven dedicated in 1806 to the Russian ambassador to Vienna, Count Rasumovsky, the Carduccis begin our sequence, in adjacent concerts, of Britten’s three string quartets. The first of these remarkable chamber works was premiered in Los Angeles in September 1941, just a few months before Britten’s return to war-ravaged Britain. Also in the programme is a new work, influenced by Britten’s chamber music, by the latest winner of the Royal Philharmonic Society’s composition prize, David Onac.
