Buxton has the best of Friends, says new Patron
Buxton International Festival has one of the best Friends organisations in the music world, their new Patron Wyn Davies believes.
Wyn, who takes on the role from the Friends’ first patron Donald Maxwell, is an internationally renowned conductor who first appeared at the Buxton Festival in 1983 when he conducted the children’s opera James and the Giant Peach.
His work has taken him from New York to New Zealand, and although there are friends groups supporting music events across the globe, nobody does it like they do in Buxton.
