Message from the Festival PatronI hope that this year’s Festival will be representative of not only local but also international performers. There will be a variety of unique offerings for all the family. These are scheduled to enable a wide variety of age ranges and tastes to be accommodated at different times of the day and evening.

History of the Warminster Festival

The Warminster Festival was founded by Cllr Joan Main in 1989 to promote and foster appreciation of the arts in Warminster and the community area. The members of the committee work very hard to encourage all sections of the Warminster community to take part and feel that this is a Festival for them. Members of the committee are volunteers and the Festival does not have a paid administrator. All income is from grants, sponsorship or ticket sales.

The Festival Officials:

Festival Chairman: Barry Mole

Barry has lived in Warminster all his life. He has been Station Director of Warminster Community Radio since 1996 and became Chairman of the Warminster Festival in 2013.

Festival Treasurer: Heather Parks

Heather was Warminster’s Town Clerk from 2005 until 2017. Simultaneously, she served as Festival Treasurer and continued in the post following her retirement.

Festival Secretary: Andrew Robinson

Andrew is a Warminster resident born and bred. He has been Station Manager at Warminster Community Radio since 2010 and is a primary school teacher in Amesbury.

Tuesday 24 OctoberLutyens and the Great War

2017 marks the centenary of the founding

of the Imperial (now Commonwealth) War

Graves Commission.

Sir Edwin Lutyens is celebrated for his

design work for wealthy clients, yet much

of his work in connection with World War

I remains unknown. As Chief Architect

for the Imperial War Graves Commission,

Lutyens’ work set the standard for the

much-admired British and Commonwealth

war cemeteries. Tim Skelton, co-author of

a book about the Chief Architect, gives an

illustrated talk at the Athenaeum about the

important aspect of Lutyens’ career and

examines his role as well as that of the

Imperial War Graves Commission.

Friday 27 OctoberViolin and Piano Recital

Warminster Festival’s Headline

Performance for this year, featuring

Frida Backman who is travelling from

Scandinavia to perform in Warminster.

Finnish solo violinist Frida Backman

first appeared as a concerto soloist

at the age of nine. She has since

performed the violin concertos by

Sibelius, Barber, Bach, Tchaikovsky

and Brahms. Alongside the beloved

classics she is a keen promoter of

rare Finnish concertos and chamber

works to audiences in the UK and

Finland. In 2016 Warren Mailley-Smith became

the first British pianist to perform

Chopin’s complete works for solo

piano from memory in a series of 11

recitals at St John’s Smith Square.

Hailed by the critics as an “epic

achievement”, Mailley-Smith will

repeat the series at several venues in

2017-18.
