Manchester Camerata, (left)<\/em><\/strong> who are celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2022, are returning to the Stoller Hall with another instalment in their Mozart, Made in Manchester series. This concert series is part of a five-year collaboration between the orchestra and Chetham\u2019s School of Music to perform and record all of Mozart\u2019s piano concertos. Their concert celebrates Mozart at his very best, delving into some of his later operas (Cosi Fan Tutte and The Magic Flute) as well as some of his most epic piano concertos. It also brings together the undeniable chemistry between Camerata\u2019s much loved and charismatic Music Leader, G\u00e1bor Tak\u00e1cs-Nagy with eminent pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This concert is supported in memory of former Camerata violinist, Sheila Williams, and her husband Rhys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above information was shared with Sidetracks And Detours by our colleague, Steve Cooke (right)<\/em><\/strong>, over at his all across the arts pages in The Rochdale observer, and now also on-line<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognising that we have recently been updating posts about The Manchester Folk Festival, Steve also gave us all the very latest news of the event.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Manchester Folk Festival has a great track record of presenting the very best in current folk and acoustic music<\/strong>, resulting in a rich mix of styles and artists approaching folk and storytelling from different perspectives, and the 5th edition of Manchester Folk Festival will be no The festival is run by English Folk Expo as an international showcase for English Folk and acoustic artists. Each year 180 music industry delegates join Manchester audiences to see the most exciting artists based in England. This year\u2019s shows take place at HOME, Impossible Theatre, O2 Ritz Manchester, The Blues Kitchen and International Anthony Burgess Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOME\u2019s Theatre 2 welcomes two new projects, one using folk and storytelling to revisit stories of social change and one centred around global cultural collaboration. Reg Meuross\u2019 Stolen from God is a song cycle unfolding the history of England\u2019s involvement in the Transatlantic slave trade and new commission, Touchstone, brings together traditional English and Kashmiri songs and tunes. Reg has featured on these pages previously and I still hold fond memories of interviewing him more than thirty years ago. Even then he proved to be not only a studious and serious, but also humorous musician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival opens on Thursday 13 October with The Magpie Arc and Lady Maisery: in this show The Magpie Arc launch their highly anticipated first full-length album. Jim Ghedi is joined by Joshua Burnell in HOME.

Its wonderful that there is folk \u00b4n Mozart in Manchester but readers in the South of the UK, but as most readers of Sidetracks And Detours will know any regular readers of Sidetracks And Deturs might also loudly proclaim the success of Jazz In Reading (JIR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The event is a meeting of Pangbourne Jazz Club to enjoy a concert on October 2nd<\/sup> by jazz vocalist, Julie Maguire<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julie Maguire, (left and in our cover photo) <\/strong>is a singer and actress based in the London area. Her singing work is incredibly varied – from musical theatre through to jazz, pop and rock. She also writes music, and collaborated on the score to a rock musical which was performed at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe.

\u200bMost recently Julie has been working with Mike Moran across a number of his Film, TV and album projects providing her vocals to his compositions. This collaboration includes Julie and Mike producing an American Songbook Live show, some of which Julie will bring to Pangbourne.
\u200bJulie has performed in most of the theatres around the UK and in many large festivals around the country and abroad. She has also worked in more intimate settings with smaller groups and duo work. She was the female vocalist in Brendan Cole’s “Live and Unjudged” tour.

Julie is certainly a regular favourite with many UK show bands and in great demand – comfortable with a full 18-piece big band as well as the slightly smaller combos.
As an actress, Julie toured the UK with “End of the Rainbow” understudying the role of Judy Garland. She has also performed the role of narrator in the Bill Kenwright production of “Joseph and his Technicolor Dreamcoat”
\u200bHugely talented, Julie is partner with David Young in the international rock band Space Elevator. She is a prolific writer and lyricist and the band have released 3 albums to critical acclaim.

\u200bJulie is a wonderfully talented singer and performer and as a hard working professional musician she crosses style and genre effortlessly.

\u200bPangbourne Jazz Club members are really looking forward to her first appearance at Pangbourne Jazz Club.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
