Shipley Arts Festival 2022
We are very grateful to Arts Council England extending their support to our 22nd Shipley Arts Festival.
We are delighted to welcome you to a rich diverse artistic programme of concerts which will bring together and connect all our communities. International level musicians who will enjoy unique connection with our concert supporters and audience. Young people and their families will enjoy our blend of side by side String Academy Concerts where pupils perform alongside some of the most experienced and distinguished UK musicians. We will also be serving the Alzheimers Society and we look forward to updating how we will support this community through our music making.
Please book early as we are restricting audience sizes for these very popular Concerts in order to keep everyone safe.
Our purpose and passion is to inspire and connect people of all ages and backgrounds through music performance and education.
The Bernardi Music Group take pride in working in the community, and with the corporate world, to share the wide-ranging benefits of music-making with both local and global audiences.
At the centre of everything we do is our Amici Bernardi Stradivarius violin – an emblem of our musical excellence. Led on the Stradivarius by violinist, music educator and festival director Andrew Bernardi; we bring together the Bernardi Orchestra, Stradivarius Piano Trio, the annual Shipley Arts Festival and the Leonardslee Concert Series. Combined with other unique events, our String Academy and Trinity Sannyi Summer School for young musicians; we deliver world-class performances to venues in Sussex, across the UK and around the world.

Past Performances
The 14th February saw the launch of our exciting new live stream technology, as our Stradivarius Piano Trio performed live with John Suchet on Valentines evening from the atrium of the delightful Leonardslee House.
Set in the stunning Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens Estate, the event was hosted by Classic FM presenter, John Suchet. The Stradivarius Piano Trio comprising of Andrew Bernardi (violin), Jonathan Few (cello) and Maria Marchant (piano) romanced viewers with a heartfelt hour-long selection of beautiful music from some of the world’s greatest composers.
