Concert for Hugos 90th: Artists include Ian Bostridge; Brindisi Quartet; Solstice Quartet; and members of the Aronowitz Ensemble
Hugo Herbert-Jones has become an Aldeburgh legend, with his house and hospitality being a focal point for visiting young artists for over a generation. It is estimated he has provided over 3000 nights of accommodation for musicians, and his generosity continues with games of croquet and pots of home-made marmalade thrown in. As he approaches his 90th birthday, with his enthusiasm for music and being a host seemingly undimmed, we celebrate his extraordinary
contribution with a concert of his favourite music ' including Brahms, Beethoven, Schubert and Vaughan Williams's On Wenlock Edge ' given by his musical friends.
The surplus from this concert will go to Future Talent, a charity working with musically gifted young people who do not have the financial means or the opportunity to advance their musicianship.
Concert for Hugos 90th at Britten Studio in Snape, Suffolk on Sunday, 26 February 2012.
