welcome
to Harrogate International Festivals’ inaugural Young Musicians Autumn Series: working in partnership with Live Music Now. What better way to see in this beautiful season than with some of the brightest rising stars in classical, jazz, folk and world music. This debut season is guaranteed to add some mid-week magic to your Autumn, taking you on a journey from the enchanting harp music of Anneke Hodnett to the ‘demon banjo and harmonica playing’ of folk duo Will Pound and Dan Walsh. The programme also plays host to Jazzwise’s first choice for new talent, Katie’s Allsorts, and the exceptional, award winning Jacquin Trio. The season closes with an injection of ‘infectious energy’ from the Musala Trio. Set in the elegant surroundings of Harrogate’s Wesley Chapel, we are proud to present this new season of young musicians as part of our year-round work to provide a platform for the world’s most enthralling performers. Join us as we invite the next generation to the stage.

Will Pound - ‘one of the most original harmonica players in Britain’ - was nominated as BBC Radio 2 Folk Musician of the Year in 2012. Alongside Dan, ‘the UK’s top Clawhammer banjoist’, this folk duo is already a hugely successful partnership. The duo deliver a programme featuring the Eastern flavoured ‘Turkish Delight’, funk and bluegrass hits, and Irish jigs and reels, alongside their own original songs – definitely not to be missed.
These young musicians joined forces at the Royal College of Music in 2009, and they have since gone on to win the Douglas Whittaker Ensemble Prize in 2010 and the St Martin-in-the-Fields Chamber Music Competition 2012. They are current Live Music Now Scheme Artists for 2011-13 and have been short-listed for the 57th Annual Park Lane Group concert series. The trio are in demand across London as composers queue up to write works for them thanks to the exquisite combination of clarinet, viola and piano, now this is Harrogate’s chance to experience their oustanding talent.
