Ian Maclay recently retired as the managing director of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra having joined the orchestra in 1972 and become managing director in 1982, and again in 2001. But Maclay is not putting his feet up, and it has been announced that he will be taking over as artistic director of Cambridge Summer Music Festival, with the 2018 festival being the first under Maclay's charge.
This year's Cambridge Summer Music Festival ran from 12 - 29 July 2017, presenting music in iconic Cambridge venues. This year's festival was the last to be directed by Juliet Abrahamson who was festival director fro 1994 to 2015 and did much to shape the present festival.
