In its 40 year history, Berkshire Music Trust has proudly supported children and young people to develop their passion for music. The Berkshire Youth Symphony Orchestra is formed of some of the most talented and dedicated young musicians in Berkshire.Making their festival debut, their musical directors Jonathan Burnett and assistant musical director Ben Copeman are keen to showcase the orchestra through well-loved classics, and a new commission by emerging composer Amit Manna.
Rising star cellist Jonathan Swensen won the Windsor International String Competition in 2019 and has gone on to an international career. Performing one of Britain’s most well-loved pieces, Elgar’s Cello Concerto, this partnership will undoubtedly bring new energy to a modern-day classic.
