Manchester-based engineering company Haden Freeman sponsored the Saturday night concert of this year's Royal Northern College of Music Cello Festival.
Manchester-based engineering company Haden Freeman sponsored the Saturday night concert of this year's Royal Northern College of Music Cello Festival.
In doing so the company won a "New Partners" award which added to the money RNCM received, supporting its Junior School "performance days".
Offered by the Government-backed body Arts and Business, these awards are designed to encourage industry to back the arts and enhance the quality of life in local communities.
Why the sponsorship? For one thing, Haden Freeman has a policy of supporting local education and the arts.
For another, owner and MD Nigel Hirst - a chemical engineer by training - plays the cello, and his daughter Chloe attends RNCM's Junior School.
So cello-related RNCM initiatives are a natural attraction.
And thirdly, the company was able to invite an audience of colleagues, clients and friends to the concert.
Hirst comments: "This was a terrific opportunity for Haden Freeman".
"The concert itself was outstanding and coverage by Radio 3 the following weekend a bonus".
"We are happy and proud to be part of it, and hope that RNCM's activities go from strength to strength".
RNCM's Director of Development Eileen Henry adds: "We are delighted to have Haden Freeman onboard".
The company already provides bursaries for RNCM's Junior School and, with the Ogden Trust, at Bolton School Girls' Division.
Haden Freeman also supports Bolton's Octagon Theatre and the Boris Tchaikovsky Society, Moscow, dedicated to the late Russian twentieth-century composer.
What of the concert itself? On Saturday 8th May, Krzysztof Penderecki and Vassily Sinaisky conducted the BBC Philharmonic at the Bridgewater Hall in Bach's Sarabande from his Fifth Cello Suite (soloist Natalia Gutman), a cello concerto from the Finn Joonas Kokkonen (Arto Noras, who inspired the work), Penderecki's own concerto grosso for three cellos (Frans Helmerson, Lluis Claret and Claudio Bohorquez) and Beethoven's triple concerto for cello, violin and piano opus 29 (Cho-Liang Lin, Ralph Kirshbaum and Imogen Cooper).
