Presteigne Festival transcends its provincial base

9:49am Thursday 1st September 2011

As always achieving the highest artistic standards, the Presteigne Festival of Music and the Arts retains the charm of its small town home while at the same time spilling out into surrounding villages like Leintwardine, Pembridge, Kinnerton and Discoed, whose magnificent churches serve the role of concert hall so admirably. Under the meticulous eye of director George Vass the festival also continues to transcend its provincial base. As well as bringing together leading composers and performers from all over the UK, this year’s festival celebrated modern Lithuanian music in performances that were as revelatory as they were enjoyable. No more so than in the splendid concert by the young singers of the Choir of Royal Holloway, when the Baltic predilection for complex a capella vocal music was revealed to ravishing effect, especially in the mesmerising works of Vytautas Miškinis. The instrumental music was pretty good too. Vytautas Bacevičius and Zita Bružaitè et al may not be household names beyond Vilnius but they have a command of their art that is second to none.
