After last year's inaugural festival, High Barnet Chamber Music Festival returns in July 2022 for its second edition under artistic director Joshua Ballance. The concert series was set up to provide a platform for young professional musicians and to stimulate arts and music education in North London and Hertfordshire, while embracing diverse and adventurous programming. The organisation also offers music education opportunities, including masterclasses and a work experience scheme for local students.
The festival opens on 2 July 2022 with the New London Orchestra performing music by Ailsa Dixon and Schoenberg, plus Benjamin Britten's Serenade for tenor, horn and strings with Annemarie Federle (horn) and Brenton Spiteri (tenor). Other concerts include the Echéa Quartet in Elisabeth Lutyens' String Quartet No. 6 plus quartets by Bartok and Mendelssohn, the ensemble Mad Song in music by Mazzoli, Saariaho, Tower, Causton, Monk Feldman, and Reich, and the festival ends on 17 July with cellist Ben Tarlton and pianist Robin Green in sonatas by Beethoven and Rachmaninov, plus Nadia Boulanger's Three Pieces for Cello and Piano.
