Here is our programme of four concerts for 2020 (please keep scrolling down!):
FRIDAY 15 MAY 2020 THE TALLIS SCHOLARS (vocal
ensemble)
“…as near
extra-terrestrial as you can get, sitting in a concert hall.” Fiona
Maddocks, The Observer
Through four decades of performance and numerous award-winning recordings,
Peter Phillips and The Tallis Scholars have contributed enormously to
establishing sacred vocal music of the Renaissance as one of the great
repertoires of Western classical music. They continue to develop their
exclusive sound, praised by reviewers for its supple clarity and tone, and to
bring fresh interpretations to music by contemporary as well as past composers.
The programme is called ‘Metamorphosis’ and aims to show how composers
from three separate traditions - Catholic, Anglican and Russian
Orthodox - have interpreted the same texts, central to Christians in
every age. The Catholic and Anglican composers are from the Renaissance
period; the Orthodox are modern.
FRIDAY 12 JUNE VAN KUIJK STRING QUARTET
“Style, energy and a sense of risk…. These four young Frenchmen made the
music smile.”
The Guardian
The programme will feature quartets by Mozart, Beethoven and Schumann.
FRIDAY 3 JULY LAUREN ZHANG (solo piano)
“….Lauren Zhang’s power never let up, yet
what most impressed was the magical delicacy of her playing in the softer
passages.”
BBC Young Musician Final, The Times, May 2018
In 2018, Lauren Zhang won the BBC Young Musician Competition. Her
performance of Prokofiev’s Second Piano Concerto with the CBSO earned widespread
critical acclaim. She went on to make her BBC Proms debut and is now in
demand as soloist throughout the UK and further afield.
Lauren will play works by Haydn, Chopin, Schubert and Liszt.
FRIDAY 25 SEPTEMBER RACHEL PODGER & MARCIN
SWIATKIEWICZ (violin & harpsichord)
Rachel Podger is “…the unsurpassed British glory of the baroque violin”
The Times
Internationally renowned baroque violinist Rachel Podger has established
herself as a leading interpreter of the music of the Baroque and Classical
periods. Rachel has performed as a soloist and guest director with many of the
world’s top ensembles; she was named Gramophone Magazine’s ‘Artist of the
Year’ in 2018. Rachel will be joined by leading harpsichordist
Marcin Świątkiewicz.
