AWE 2025 launches in the glorious Rippon Hall with Intimate Voices, an exploration of the human desire to emulate nature. It captures the classical ideal of order, form, and balance, and delves into Sibelius’ deep connection with nature.

• Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart String Quartet No.17 in B-Flat Major, K.458, The Hunt
• John Psathas A Cool wind for string quartet
• Jean Sibelius String Quartet in d minor, op.5, Voces Intimae

There will be two performances of Intimate Voices, at 4pm and 7:30pm. In between these two performances you'll have the opportunity to enjoy the free AWE+ | Scholars Showcase at 6:15pm

 
ROSL Pettman Scholars, Sarah Lee (violin) and Tal Amoore (viola), perform alongside Festival Artists, James Bush (cello) and Erin Helyard (harpsichord), in this 30-minute showcase performance.
