Review: The Merchant of Venice, Shakespeare Live! Hazelbury Manor, Box
4:42pm Tuesday 7th July 2009
When Graham Paton, as Antonio, opened Shakespeare Live's production of The Merchant of Venice by declaiming “I know not why I am so sad,” he may have been being slightly economical with the truth.
Have your say »Review: City of Bath Bach Choir with the Will Todd Trio, Wiltshire Music Centre
12:01pm Monday 6th July 2009
It’s inevitable, emotionally, I suppose that most of the attention would focus on the first half of this programme because of the appearance of the Junior Choir but, musically and significantly, the second half, featuring Will Todd’s Mass in Blue, was monumental.

This is an extraordinarily timely revival of Shaw’s political comedy on a government in crisis.
Corsham Festival: Makrokosmos, Nicholas Keyworth, piano; Julia Leyden, visuals
2:21pm Tuesday 30th June 2009
One shouldn’t expect this immensely challenging festival to produce anything ordinary. This concert was totally extraordinary; intense, gripping and deeply moving.
Corsham Festival: Retorica Duo, Harriet Mackenzie and Philippa Mo violins, St Bartholomew’s Church
2:25pm Tuesday 30th June 2009
Few could have expected this concert to have been so good. Dressed in matching white and white these two young, attractive violinists made a charming picture standing in front of a too-small audience; when they started to play it was a case of not just pretty faces… Mozart’s Duo for 2 violins, from the Piano Sonata in D major, K. 311, was a touch hurried causing a phrenetic, somewhat muddy final movement.
Corsham Festival: Hannah Marcinowicz, saxophone, Daniel Swain, piano
2:06pm Tuesday 30th June 2009
Finely balanced playing with telling accenting showed how well saxophone and piano can blend.
Corsham Festival: Barb Jungr: The Pound
11:19pm Sunday 28th June 2009
Corsham Festival: Barb Jungr: The Pound From her opening number, Walking In Memphis, I was hooked. And through almost all the first half of her show, the penultimate in the festival, I felt Barb Jungr had flicked through my personal music collection and plucked out the favourites.
Corsham Festival: Black Hair

Corsham Festival: CoMA Collision
5:24pm Thursday 25th June 2009
There’s generally an invisible yet real gulf between amateur musicians and amateurs. It’s just as much in the mind as in the fingers.
Corsham Festival: Midsummer Music: Michael Cainen
10:07am Wednesday 24th June 2009
Whilst this little gem of a festival is as professional as it needs to be there’s a refreshing non-elitist element that keeps its feet firmly on the ground. And when half the “staff” are there as performers it really does make the point that much of it is for and by the town.
Corsham Festival: Light puts new art work in several perspectives
4:06pm Tuesday 23rd June 2009
The Festival was the perfect time to unveil The Pound Arts Trust’s fifth piece of new public art.
Corsham Festival: Rich feast of art at festival
