2023 LAUNCH AT DERBY MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY

HM Lord-Lieutenant of Derbyshire Elizabeth Fothergill CBE hosted Friends of BIF at a special after-hours evening at Derby Museum and Art Gallery on Thursday 30 April 2023. The evening included drinks and canapés along with a tour of the excellent Hogarth Exhibition, which has been produced in partnership with the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery.

There was music from three talented singers from BIF’s Young Artist Programme, sopranos Jessica Hopkins and Jane Burnell and tenor Dominic Morgan. Adrian Kelly introduced events from this July’s programme, including a number of sellout performances.

Hogarth’s Britons: Succession, Patriotism, and the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion can be seen at Derby Museum and Art Gallery until Sunday 4 June 2023. See page 5 for more Friends events.
