This year’s Bath International Music Festival will be the last to have artistic director Joanna MacGregor at the helm. MacGregor, who has been at Bath since 2006, and who has now started a new role as head of keyboards at the Royal Academy of Music in London, is also continuing as a high profile concert pianist. Bath has announced that composer Alasdair Nicolson, artistic director of the St Magnus International Festival in the Orkney Islands, is to be the new artistic director. Tord Gustavsen, Courtney Pine (pictured), Food, Andy Sheppard’s Trio Libero, Beats & Pieces, McCormack /Yarde MY Duo, Gwilym Simcock and Stan Tracey are all confirmed for this year’s festival, which runs from 30 May-10 June. – Stephen Graham
