Richard Hosford fulfilled an ambition of founding a music festival his home county in 1991.

Richard said, “At that time, my aim was to create a festival with an informal atmosphere and the highest possible artistic standards.”

The festival was first planned in Canon Ray Nichols. The Gaudier Ensemble(乐团), of which Richard is a member, has returned each year to perform a wide range of chamber music(室内乐) at the festival.

Richard said, “Over many years we have built a special relationship with our audience. Teaching and encouraging a love of music are important elements of the festival, which has always included a concert for children, and now runs classes for promising young local musicians. Arriving from across Europe, the members

of the Ensemble stay with hosts in the village and enjoy making music with old friends in the wonderful St. Mary’s Church.”

The event is now an established favourite on the South West music festival scene and this year will mark its

25th year with a programme that includes pieces by Mozart, Francaix, Schubert and Bruch from Dec 9 to Dec 12.

There will also be a late-night concert of light American gems by Gershwin, a family concert and a new commission by poet and broadcaster James Crowden and Lillie Harris from the Royal College of Music.

The festival will also welcome a group of recent Royal College of Music students who will perform alongside

the Gaudier Ensemble at some concerts and work with talented local musical youngsters.

Sam Allred suffers from a rare and incurable kidney(肾脏) disease. One day, when his sister was playing a

song repeatedly, Sam sang along. His sister thought it was funny so she recorded it and posted the video online.

The video—and Sam—became a hit. Only 8 years old at that time, he couldn’t have expected the response.

“(The television show) The Doctors called and wanted me on their show so they paid for me to go to California,” says Sam, now 13, “and we got to stay in a hotel where all the movie stars stayed.”

During that visit to California, Angle Allred, Sam’s mother, had an idea about Sam writing a children’s book. Together, she and Sam wrote Opening Hearts, which tells Sam’s experience of living with a chronic(慢性的) illness.

“I wrote the book to teach people to be kinder to people,” Sam says.

Moreover, Sam wanted to send pillows to sick children staying in hospitals around the country to make their

stay more comfortable, an idea that came from a time when he was in the hospital.

“A few kind boys came in with pillows and they gave me one and it meant a lot to me that someone cared

about kids in the hospital,” says Sam.

Angie thought of starting a nonprofit organization to provide a way for people to contribute money to realize

Sam’s ideas. She named the nonprofit organization Kindness for Kids.

Since then, Sam has taken pillows to children staying at Providence Hospital in Anchorage.
