Founder & Director, Freya Goldmark, on why SIMFestival remains so special to her:
Coming home to Stamford for this festival every spring is, without a doubt, the highlight of my musical year. Each time I am yet again inspired by the reaction from the people of Stamford, who have given such support and encouragement – more than I could have ever hoped for.
Alongside the more familiar repertoire, I try to challenge myself, the musicians and perhaps even the audience by programming more obscure and underperformed works deserving of greater recognition.
It is an enduring privilege to explore such incredible pieces of music and to be able to perform them to open and appreciative audiences in a place that I love, the very same town where my musical education began over 20 years ago.
