Programme Note
Swaledale Festival always tries to bring something special to St Gregory's in Bedale, one of the larger churches available to us. This year is no exception. Since 1985, the Apollo Saxophone Quartet has been at the forefront of the contemporary music scene - commissioning, collaborating, recording and performing all over the world. Their repertoire includes classical, jazz, folk and world music influences, and their presentation is accessible and stylish. Here the quartet presents a selection of its commissions - from the eclectic artistry of Richard Rodney Bennett to the imaginative and playful music of Barbara Thompson, and the world premiere of a piece by Simon Parkin.
