Klezmer Ceilidh with Klezmerized! @ Wymondham Town Football Club
Jun 20 @ 19:00 – 22:00

KlezmerizedJoin us for the Festival Launch – a Klezmer Ceilidh with Klezmerized!.

Please note that the venue for this event has changed from Robert Kett School to Wymondham Town Football Club. We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause. 

Klezmerized! is a four-piece klezmer band based in Norwich, featuring violin, clarinet, double bass, guitar, accordion, percussion, and harmony singing. The band’s repertoire pays homage to the traditional Eastern European Jewish music known as klezmer, whilst putting thier own ‘Klezmerized!’ twist on it. The result is a spectrum of fun, lively danceable music with Middle Eastern, Gypsy and Balkan influences along with slower, soulful tunes and songs full of pathos and yearning.

Experienced caller Judith Plowman will lead the dances at the ceilidh. Anyone can join in, the dances are simple, fun and energetic!

Wymondham Town Football Club has a bar, so this no longer a bring your own drink and nibbles event, but please bring your dancing shoes!

Jun 24 @ 13:00 – 13:50

Leila Hooton – flute

We’re delighted that Leila Hooton, winner of the Norfolk Young Musician Competition will be playing for us at Wymondham Abbey.

Leila is currently in her second year, studying BMus Flute performance at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire (RBC). She currently studies with Marie-Christine Zupancic, Judith Hall and Andrew Lane.

Leila is originally from Norwich and before joining Conservatoire, learnt with Anna Noakes. She was a member of Aldeburgh Young Musicians and Britten Sinfonia Academy. In 2017, she came first place in the Woodbridge Young Musician Competition.

Now at the Conservatoire, Leila has had the opportunity to play in the RBC Symphony, Repertoire and Chamber Orchestras and is also a current member of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra Youth Orchestra and Academy. She also enjoys playing in Joe Broughton’s Conservatoire Folk Ensemble and the Hooton Wind Quintet. Leila has been lucky enough to play in various masterclasses for teachers such as Lady Jeanne Galway, Emily Beynon and Eric Lamb. Earlier this year in January, Leila won Norfolk Young Musician of the year. Later this year in September, Leila will begin her third year by studying abroad on an Erasmus placement in either The Hague or Cologne. In her spare time, she enjoys singing in the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber choir.

Accompanist:  Julian Trevelyan – piano

As a teenager, Julian won laureates and prizes at international piano competitions in England, France, Germany, and Belgium.  He now has a busy European concert schedule.  Recent recitals have included performances of Beethoven’s Diabelli variations in London and Munich; and works by Schumann and Mozart in a Masterclass at the Musikverein in Vienna.

Julian was a chorister in St Albans Cathedral, and is an alumni of Aldeburgh Young Musicians, and Pro Corda.  He composes, plays the violin and enjoys chamber music, and is currently studying piano in Paris and music at Oxford. 

Programme:

Georg Philipp Telemann – Fantasie No.2 A Minor
Charles M. Widor – Suite for flute and piano Op.34
Paul Hindemith – Achtstucke
Dave Heath – Out of the cool
