Industrial, political, scientific, philosophical and, not least, musical: revolutions of many kinds shaped the 18th century. It opened with Bach, Scarlatti and Handel all hitting the ripe old age of 15, and ended as the 29-year-old Beethoven was writing his 1st symphony. Explore this extraordinary age throughout ENF 2018 in the best possible company – Zacharias, Queyras, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Castalian Quartet, and many more…

As ever, we offer a wide, wide range of music to enjoy: you can travel back in time to the Renaissance with The Tallis Scholars or forwards to hear the Scottish premiere of a quartet by Caroline Shaw, the youngest ever recipient of a Pulitzer Prize for music. You can shift sideways for some jazz, traditional or brass band music, or perhaps we can tempt you to sample the kemençe? [see page 11]

Whichever path you take through ENF 2018, enjoy the musical feast!

WELCOME TO THE 14TH ENF!

BIG DAY OF BACHBach’s 6 cello suites are the Himalaya of cello music. The legendary Spanish player Pablo Casals described them as “a new world of space and beauty”. He spoke of how they “shine with the most glittering kind of poetry”. Their range is incomparable. Yo-Yo Ma played the 5th suite’s Sarabande at Ground Zero on the first anniversary of 9/11. There could be no more fitting memorial – yet within the suite, that profound, moving reflection has earthy dances either side of it. This is what makes this music so humanely great.

No recent cellist has inspired greater acclaim in these wonderful pieces than Jean-Guihen Queyras and we are thrilled that he will perform all 6 suites over the course of a single day in 3 very different locations to suit the music. [see pages 10 & 11]

MISEREREKing David, so the story goes, wrote Psalm 51 in deep shame and penitence for seducing Bathsheba then arranging for her husband to be killed in battle. It is a heartfelt plea for mercy and forgiveness that has inspired many composers to set it to heart-achingly moving and dramatic music, none more so than Gregorio Allegri. Is any piece more wreathed in mystery and myth than his Miserere? For centuries it was performed only in the Sistine Chapel, until young Mozart smuggled it out in his memory. How much of it is actually by Allegri is uncertain; certainly the stratospheric high ‘c’s that fill us with such awe were probably added later by some amazing singer.

Allegri inspires both concerts by The Tallis Scholars this year. More than 40 years ago, they recorded their 1st version of the Miserere and it made their name. For us, they perform it alongside music by Arvo Pärt, partnered by bassist Renaud Garcia-Fons and 8 (yes 8!) cellos of the SCO. They then give a second concert including a setting by the earlier Renaissance master Josquin – lesser known perhaps, but so powerful, and if anything, yet more expressively beautiful.[see pages 11 & 13]

RENAUD GARCIA-FONSThis magnificent bassist is an ENF favourite, and each time he comes to Fife he does something completely new. This year, hear him team up with Turkish musician Derya Türkan, a virtuoso of the bowed lute – the kemençe – or hear him with The Tallis Scholars, improvising between pieces by Arvo Pärt.[see pages 11 & 13]

GUITAR GUITAR“The guitar is a small orchestra - Every string is a different colour, a different voice.”We’re with Segovia on that quote, but we’d add that it is the most wonderfully universal, versatile instrument too. It can play percussion or sing softly, swing, rock, or lull you into a reverie. This year, we welcome two superb guitarists to Anstruther to play classical, jazz, tango and more in a pair of wonderful concerts. [see pages 12 & 14]

THE FUTURE!On these pages you will read about 2018 ENF events kicking off on June 27th, but in fact, the festival will have been underway for the best part of a week!

13 musicians from all over the world will converge in Fife, including 5 acclaimed professionals and 8 outstanding younger players.

They come together in restful, lovely Elie to spend 8 days working intensively on some of the greatest chamber music in the repertoire.

The young musicians will get some seriously vigorous and challenging coaching, learning and inspiration from the older artists; experiences that will nourish their musicianship for years to come.

This is one of the ways ENF invests in the future of music.

And it’s not just all about them!

Hear what they have been working on in 2 concerts during the festival ‒ the first is listed opposite, the second you'll find on page 12.

RETREAT 14pm, Elie Church Hall £15 (£5 for 7-17 year olds) Approx. 65mins

An hour of informal music with the musicians of the 2018 Retreat. Over the course of this week, the young musicians work on a wide range of repertoire, and this concert is a chance to meet them and hear what they have been doing. Programme announced from the stage.

WEDNESDAY 27 JUNE

ZACHARIAS & CASTALIAN QUARTET7.30pm, Crail Church £25 / £18 (£5 for 7-17 year olds) Approx. 105mins with interval

HAYDN Sonata in G minor, Hob XVI:44 BACH French Suite No 5 in G, BWV 816 HAYDN Sonata in A-flat, Hob XVI:46 MOZART Piano Concerto in E-flat, K449

Zacharias teams up with the Castalian Quartet for the pure, life-affirming joy that is Mozart’s 14th Piano Concerto. Setting the scene, he plays solos by the 2 composers who inspired Mozart more than any others: his idol JS Bach, and his great friend Haydn. The A-flat sonata is an astounding piece with a sense of space and introspection that looks ahead to Schubert’s late works.

“Now there is music from which a man can learn something.” Mozart on BachGenerously supported by Dunard Fund

GERSHWIN When you want ’em, you can’t get ’em...; Rialto Ripples Rag; Swanee RAVEL Le Tombeau de Couperin STRAVINSKY Petrouchka

Musical fireworks to get Thursday underway! Yeol Eum Son won prizes at the prestigious Tchaikovsky and Van Cliburn International Piano Competitions, and her career is soaring – this past season has seen her make major debuts across the world. Her programmes are both sparky and thoughtful: here are 3 giants of 20th century music from the USA, France and Russia who knew each other personally and influenced each other too. All 3 played piano, and wrote these breath-taking tours-de-forces for the instrument traversing classical, jazz and nationalist styles.

THURSDAY 28 JUNE

ZACHARIAS IN CONVERSATION2pm, Crail Church Hall £7. Approx. 45mins

Christian Zacharias is a wonderfully insightful, sharp, thoughtful and provocative conversationalist. Here he talks about Bach, Scarlatti, Mozart, Haydn and Rameau – the composers he performs this year.Generously supported by Dunard Fund

MAD WOMEN, QUEENS & LOVERS4pm, Kilconquhar Church £15 (£5 for 7-17 year olds) Approx. 60mins

Mhairi Lawson soprano Paula Chateauneuf lutes

Mhairi Lawson steps in and out of character to portray Mary Queen of Scots, Mad Bess, Venus and Juno – women depicted by Purcell, Dowland, Monteverdi and Carissimi. These men created some of the most colourful female characters of their age but we also bring you a rarity: songs by an actual woman who was their contemporary, Francesca Caccini, the first woman to write opera and a star in her own time.

CASTALIAN QUARTET7.30pm, Kilrenny Church £25 / £15 (£5 for 7-17 year olds) Approx. 90mins with interval

HAYDN Quartet No 64 in D, Op 76 No 5 CAROLINE SHAW Entr’acte SCHUMANN Quartet No 1 in A minor, Op 41 No 1

“The thought of quartets gives me pleasure”, wrote Robert Schumann to his young wife, and in time he would write 3 as a birthday gift to her. The Castalian Quartet plays us the 1st – a cracker, showing Schumann at his mercurial, poetic best. Intense, melodious, dramatic, driven, passionate and high-spirited by turn – the perfect showcase for this superb young ensemble. They also bring Caroline Shaw, a new face at ENF, who is the youngest ever recipient of a Pulitzer Prize for Music, and composer of numerous chamber works for strings. Her short Entr’acte is inspired by Haydn, so who better to open with? His Op 76 No 5 is a piece to leave you with a huge smile on your face!

BACH Suite No 1 in G for solo cello SCARLATTI & SOLER works to be announced from the stage

Jean-Guihen Queyras cello Christian Zacharias piano

The perfect music for the morning – the sunniest of Bach’s cello suites followed by an hour with Christian Zacharias as he dips into Scarlatti’s 555 sonatas and music by Catalan composer Antonio Soler, whose fandango was a hit tune of his age. Irresistible.Generously supported by Dunard Fund

WATKIN ON BACH2pm, Crail Church Hall £7. Approx. 45mins

David Watkin talks about music with inspiring knowledge and passion. He recorded his own award winning account of Bach’s Cello Suites and knows this music as well as anyone – here he offers insights and context to these marvellous pieces.

BACH IN ST MONANS 4pm, St Monans Church £17 / £13 (£5 for 7-17 year olds) Approx. 70mins

BACH Suites Nos 2, 3 & 4 for solo cello

Jean-Guihen Queyras cello

Each of Bach’s suites is a world unto itself, rich in different moods, styles and seasons.

Hearing them in St Monans Church will be an especially intimate, immediate experience.

BYRD Vigilate BYRD Mass for Five Voices JOSQUIN Miserere JOSQUIN Stabat mater JOSQUIN Absalon, fili mi BYRD Plorans plorabit CARVER Gloria (Missa Dum sacrum mysterium)

The Tallis Scholars Peter Phillips director

Byrd and Josquin have been described as being to music what Michelangelo and Raphael were to art. Marvellous musicians of the Renaissance, they are heard side by side in this sequence built around Byrd’s 5-voice Mass and Josquin’s immense setting of the Miserere. To close, a Scottish gem: Carver’s Gloria for 10 individual voices brings a spectacular finale to an evening of ravishing a cappella singing from one of the greatest choirs in the world.

SILK MOON8pm, Anstruther Town Hall £12 (£5 for 7-17 year olds) Approx. 75mins

Renaud Garcia-Fons bass Derya Türkan kemençe

The wonderful French bassist Renaud Garcia-Fons returns to the East Neuk to partner Turkish virtuoso Derya Türkan in a fusion of Eastern, Mediterranean and Western jazz. An hour of astounding music-making – 2 instruments creating a whole orchestra of sound.

BACH LATE 9.45pm, The Bowhouse £12 (£5 for 7-17 year olds) Approx. 65mins

BACH Suites Nos 5 & 6 for solo cello

Jean-Guihen Queyras cello

Each and every one of Bach’s cello suites is a miracle of life and music, but the final 2 are arguably richer and more compelling than the rest. Technically formidable, expressively profound and absorbing, they are ideal late night music. Queyras performs them in near darkness in the great space of The Bowhouse – this will be one to remember!

SATURDAY 30 JUNE

FESTIVALLAROUNDTullis Russell Mills Band hit the road to give 3 concerts in different East Neuk locations. There is nothing quite like the sound of a full brass band!

Each performance will last approximately 45 minutes and include a mixture of classical and popular favourites.

11am, Elie Beach Near junction of South Street / Fountain Road

12.30pm, Kellie Castle Grounds Why not book a tour of the castle and its gardens - visit their website at www.nts.org.uk/Property/ Kellie-Castle-and-Garden. The cafe will be open or bring a picnic.

3.30pm, Anstruther Harbour Beside Harbourmaster's Office

These are all outdoor events, so if the weather looks like it will turn nasty we will sadly have to cancel. Please check our website, Facebook and Twitter for updates before you set off.

RETREAT 211.30am, Kilrenny Church £20 / £15 (£5 for 7-17 year olds) Approx. 70mins

MENDELSSOHN Quintet No 1 in A, Op 18 BRAHMS Clarinet Quintet in B minor, Op 115

Take 8 stunning young musicians from around the world and put them together with 5 acclaimed, older musicians for a week of coaching and music-making – this is the essence of the ENF Retreat. An annual highlight of ENF, the end of Retreat concert features the 2 masterworks they have all been focusing on most intensely.We are grateful for The Misses Barrie Charitable Trust’s support of The ENF Retreat

ELIAS QUARTET 14pm, Kilrenny Church £20 / £15 (£5 for 7-17 year olds) Approx. 65mins

BEETHOVEN Quartet in F minor, Op 95 ‘Serioso’ MENDELSSOHN Quartet in A minor, Op 13

Don’t miss the Elias Quartet’s return to ENF! They present 2 concerts pairing Beethoven with a composer influenced by him. Mendelssohn venerated Beethoven and wrote his 1st string quartet just months after the great master’s death. It is full of allusions and tributes to him, and although Mendelssohn was just 18 when he wrote it, it is a masterpiece. The Elias Quartet pair it with the shortest but, arguably, most intense and searching of Beethoven’s own quartets.

The Tallis Scholars Scottish Chamber Orchestra Cellos Renaud Garcia-Fons bass

A magnificent choir, an ensemble of 8 of Scotland’s finest cellists, and 1 of the world’s great bassists. Deploying the large spaces of The Bowhouse to full effect, these musicians weave a thread of atmospheric, moving music, culminating in Allegri’s Miserere. The Tallis Scholars made their name with it over 40 years ago and it remains their signature piece. More recently they have released an acclaimed CD of Arvo Pärt, and it is to him that the lion’s share of this evening belongs. Drawing on his orthodox choral traditions, his music is bell-like in its purity and power – a joy to the ear and spirit.

DOUBLE BILL: DUNCAN CHISHOLM & ELIAS QUARTET 28pm, Anstruther Town Hall £12 (£5 for 7-17 year olds) Approx. 75 mins

Duncan Chisholm’s playing is a joy to the ear – expressive and nuanced. He can be heart-breakingly tender and moving but equally well stride out with superbly uplifting, up-beat tunes. He and his band are joined by the Elias Quartet as we have never heard them at ENF; their Donald Grant is both violinist and fiddler, a regular at Celtic Connections, and he’s created a trad-quartet fusion especially for them.

Young French guitar superstar Thibaut Garcia revisits music made famous by the legendary Andrés Segovia: Bach dominates, both his own music and famous tributes to him, then there’s folk music of Segovia’s native Spain, before Garcia closes with the superb and dramatic The Heaven’s Hundred, inspired by recent events in the Ukraine.Generously supported by Le Bureau Export

For their 2nd concert this year, the Elias Quartet bring Beethoven’s immense, lyrical, late quartet alongside Shostakovich’s shortest, most personal quartet: a tribute to his wife. Passages of great tenderness and humour stand alongside inconsolable grief – this is powerful music.

Did you know that it costs approximately £300,000 to produce the East Neuk Festival? And that the real cost of an ENF ticket (if you were to divide our budget by the number of attenders) would be about £72? Yet we are able to charge less than a quarter of that on average, and ensure that as many people as possible are able to come to concerts.

It takes a surprising amount of resources to plan, prepare and present ENF and to bring the world’s very best performers to the East Neuk. The festival is organized by only a few part-time staff and we are proud to run a very tight ship.

We have earned the support of public bodies, trusts and foundations, as well as individual patrons. We are grateful to them all but it is our patrons who continue to be the primary source of our income. Many of you have already given us your support for 2018 and we warmly thank you. Because ENF 2018 will again feature the Retreat, by supporting us now you are also nurturing the next generation of outstanding musicians, helping them to keep the music we all love as vibrant as it is now.

There are many good causes that deserve your support but we hope we are one of them.

Please become an ENF 2018 Patron and help keep this tight ship afloat, our ticket prices affordable and the artistic standards world-class!
