Swaledale Festival Details
The Swaledale Festival was founded in or before 1978 to celebrate the music already within the Yorkshire Dales, and to bring internationally renowned musicians and composers into Swaledale and Wensleydale. The main focus is on small-scale classical chamber music. Choral music, folk music, brass bands and jazz also feature, as do talks, films, exhibitions, poetry readings, workshops and guided walks.The Festival has been described by The Guardian as one of the 10 best classical music festivals, and by the Daily Telegraph as one of the 25 opera and classical festivals of the season. The Festival attracts around 7,000 visitors a year.The Festival takes place over two weeks in May and June each year. Most concerts and performances take place in churches, chapels, castles, pubs, fields and village halls scattered around Swaledale and Wensleydale. The largest venue seats about 400 people; the smallest venues may seat as few as 40.A key feature of the Swaledale Festival is the commitment to new commissions and recently composed works; commissioned pieces by Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, Michael Brough and Heather Fenoughty received their premières in 2012. The 2013 Festival ran from 25 May to 8 June 2013, and included premières of works by Sally Beamish, David Blake, Stephen Goss, Tim Garland, Roland Dyens and Graham Coatman.
