A classical music festival in the ruins of a Roman town, run by a Harrogate jeweller? Sounds quintessentially Yorkshire
He is aware of the changing cultural climate and the challenges that classical music festivals face. He notes how Young Musician of the Year has gone from prime-time BBC 1 family viewing to the outskirts of cable TV and wonders if concentration spans are now becoming shorter too, with the distractions of the digital age.“There’s so much competing for audiences’ time that it’s that much harder now, but the rewards of a live concert are so huge.
Despite the classical music sector undergoing funding cuts, the King’s coronation, Robert says, is a great opportunity to put it back centre stage. “King Charles has quite a sophisticated taste in classical music. He’s a big supporter of classical music, and the music he’s chosen for the coronation is a lot of the best in British music-making.”
Ogdens the Jewellers presented King Charles with a gold Breguet watch back in 2008, when he opened the restored Royal Hall in Harrogate. “For the Queen’s coronation in 1937, we made two replica crowns based on the Imperial State crown for a big window display at the time. We also supplied jewellery to Prince George, Duke of Kent, the younger brother of King George VI, and sold Napoleon’s wife’s tiara to a guest at the coronation.
