Welcome to Yorkshire announce continued support of hcmf//
"Welcome to Yorkshire is delighted to support the Festival in presenting the very best new music to its audience and guests from across the country and around the world."
hcmf// is preparing to welcome guests, composers, artists and audience members from around the world to Yorkshire over the coming weeks – and for the second year running the Festival is being supported by Welcome to Yorkshire, the county’s destination management organisation – confirming hcmf//’s place as a key event in the county’s cultural calendar.
This year, hcmf// will play host to around 25 music and cultural programmers, plus Festival directors from around the world, as part of the long-term partnership with British Council. Delegates will be attending the first weekend of the Festival, which forms a showcase for new British music and over the past few years has become established as an important annual meeting place for potential partners to discuss and develop multi-national projects, commissions and performances.
The Festival will also see performances from a multitude of leading international ensembles, alongside a focus on the music of Denmark and Norway.
Commenting on Welcome to Yorkshire’s partnership with hcmf//, Chief Executive Gary Verity said: “Now in it’s 34th year, hcmf// is clearly one of the county’s unique events and has strong international links, which have gone from strength to strength in recent years. Welcome to Yorkshire is delighted to support the Festival in presenting the very best new music to its audience and guests from across the country and around the world. Our partnership gives us the opportunity to ensure that they all receive a warm Yorkshire welcome along with lots of information about why the county is one of Europe’s leading cultural destinations.”
Welcome to Yorkshire’s support for the Festival has also contributed to the Oslo/Triptych concert Saturday 19 November, the programme for which includes the UK premiere of the piece Oslo/Triptych by Scottish composer James Dillon – whose career began in Yorkshire with the first ever public performance of his work – a piano piece performed at hcmf// in 1978.
