Young Artist Series – Gordon Clark Scholars
Maja Horvat made her Wigmore Hall debut as first violinist of the Brompton Quartet, of which she is a founding member, and in 2019 she was awarded the RPS’s Emily Anderson Prize. She has performed as a soloist with the Slovenian Philharmonic, the National Polish, and the Mendelssohn Chamber Orchestras and has performed as concertmaster of the RCM Symphony and Philharmonic Orchestra and the Echo Ensemble. She is a Tillett Debut Scheme Artist for 2022/23.
Pianist Joseph Havlat returns to the Festival to join Maja for a programme including Mozart Violin Sonata No. 25 in F Major and Schubert Fantasie in C major for violin and piano, Op. 159.
Maja and Joseph’s appearance today is supported by funds kindly provided by The Tillett Trust as part of its DEBUT programme which aims to help young musicians of outstanding talent to achieve performance platforms in the early stages of their careers.
Maja also performs today as our Gordon Clark Scholar for 2023; Joseph returns to the Festival having appeared previously as Gordon Clark Scholar in 2021. Gordon Clark was co-founder and first Artistic Director of the Lichfield Festival and the scholarships in his name allow student performers to attend the prestigious IMS Prussia Cove’s Masterclass Seminars – for further information, please see Masterclasses | International Musicians Seminar (i-m-s.org.uk)
