Richard said, “At that time, my aim was to create a festival with an informal atmosphere and the highest possible artistic standards.”  The festival was first planned in Canon Ray Nichols. The Gaudier Ensemble(乐团), of which Richard is a member, has returned each year to perform a wide range of chamber music(室内乐) at the festival.  Richard said, “Over many years we have built a special relationship with our audience. Teaching and encouraging a love of music are important elements of the festival, which has always included a concert for children, and now runs classes for promising young local musicians. Arriving from across Europe, the members  of the Ensemble stay with hosts in the village and enjoy making music with old friends in the wonderful St. Mary’s Church.”  The event is now an established favourite on the South West music festival scene and this year will mark its  25th year with a programme that includes pieces by Mozart, Francaix, Schubert and Bruch from Dec 9 to Dec 12.  There will also be a late-night concert of light American gems by Gershwin, a family concert and a new commission by poet and broadcaster James Crowden and Lillie Harris from the Royal College of Music.  The festival will also welcome a group of recent Royal College of Music students who will perform alongside  the Gaudier Ensemble at some concerts and work with talented local musical youngsters.
