The High Sheriff of Bristol’s 2018 Concert

The High Sheriff’s FundEvery year the High Sheriff raises funds to assist the work of Bristol Youth and Community Action. BYCA supports activities in school holidays in disadvantaged communities across the city. It aims at enriching the lives of young people by raising self esteem, promoting positive engagement in their communities, and reducing crime and anti-social behaviour.

For many of these young people the activities are the highlight of their school holidays. They provide secure environments, offer new learning opportunities, the chance to form new relationships, and to have fun.

Bristol Cathedral TrustFrom the twelfth century, Bristol Cathedral has been a place of daily prayer, and an extraordinary building created for the glory of God. Bristol Cathedral Trust is the charitable arm of the Cathedral. We seek funds to help us maintain our Cathedral Fabric and to strengthen our vital work and our historic role in the city and Diocese of Bristol. We engage with the widest range of funders, from charitable trusts, corporate sponsors and individual donors.

The High Sheriff of Bristol’s 2018 Charity Concert

Celtic Connections

The High Sheriff’s concert is an annual highlight in the city’s calendar, raising money for Bristol Youth and Community Action (BYCA) and for the Bristol Cathedral Trust.

This 2018 concert has a Celtic theme, featuring some of the most evocative sounds of Cornwall and Wales, reflecting our family roots and heritage.

Internationally renowned harpist Catrin Finch is one of the most accomplished harpists of her generation, delighting audiences across the UK and worldwide. She will perform works by Bach, Debussy and Handel, less familiar pieces by Alvars and Piazzolla, and her own Celtic Concerto, a contemporary classic.

Two of Bristol’s most established professional musicians, Roger Huckle and William Goodchild are co-directors of the concert and are this evening’s leader and conductor of Bristol Ensemble.

Bristol Ensemble opens with Poldark Suite, which intricately expresses the sweeping and mysterious Cornish landscape. Later, expect moments of originality and quirkish humour in Max Richter’s re-composition of Vivaldi’s Summer Concerto from The Four Seasons. The exquisite Delkiow Sivy, based on the oldest Cornish folk song, is a new commission by Truro based composer, Russell Pascoe.

In celebration of Welsh song, Côr y Gleison presents an eclectic blend of traditional and contemporary choral music that is uplifting and joyous, nostalgic and poignant. In a change of tone and tempo, the Ilminster Avenue E-Act Primary Academy choir with special guest Steve Knightley will regale us with folk songs and shanties of West Cornwall.

My wife Mary and I hope that this imaginative selection of music from Bristol’s nearest ‘Celtic neighbours’ will appeal to a wide audience.
