Here is our
programme of four concerts for 2023 (please keep scrolling down!):
“Schubert’s
sunshine, fragility and passion are all there.”
The
Strad
“To hear Mullova play Bach is, simply, one of the
greatest things you can experience.” The
Guardian
One of
the world’s greatest violin virtuosos, Viktoria Mullova’s curiosity spans
the breadth of musical development from baroque and classical right up to the
most contemporary influences from the world of fusion and experimental music.
She works regularly with highly prestigious period ensembles as well as
appearing each season with top international orchestras and conductors. In
2022/23 Viktoria will continue her collaboration with Scottish pianist
Alasdair Beatson, playing Beethoven and Schubert.
The
programme will include sonatas by Beethoven and Schubert; Viktoria will
also play the solo Bach Chaconne from Partita No. 2, BWV 1004.
FRIDAY 16 JUNE THE MARIAN CONSORT (vocal
ensemble)
The
Marian Consort
is a vocal ensemble composed of the very best singers in a flexible, intimate
group; led by founder/director Rory McCleery, it features regularly on BBC
Radio 3, and has released 12 recordings to critical acclaim.
The
concert will feature works from late Renaissance Rome by Palestrina, Anerio and
Allegri. The second half includes Roman works from subsequent generations
written for performance with voices and continuo (chamber organ), including the
amazing
Stabat Mater by Domenico Scarlatti.
FRIDAY 7 JULY MAO FUJITA (solo piano)
“Fujita
is a musician of tremendous versatility and taste, with a poetic sense of pulse
and eloquent, insightful, fearless articulation.”
The Times
With an
innate musical sensitivity and naturalness to his artistry, 23-year old Japanese
pianist Mao Fujita has already impressed many leading musicians as one of those
special talents which come along only rarely, equally at home in Mozart as in
the major romantic repertoire.
Amended programme: Mao will perform Mozart's Sonata No. 1 from 6 Wiener Sonatinen, K.439b, Rondo in A minor, K.511, Fantasia No.4 in C minor, K.475 and Sonata No.14 in C minor, K.457, and Chopin Polonaises: Op. 26 nos. 1 and 2, Op. 40 nos. 1 and 2 and Op. 44
FRIDAY 22 SEPTEMBER QUATUOR VAN KUIJK & SEAN
SHIBE (string quartet & guitar)
“Style,
energy and a sense of risk. These four young Frenchmen made the music
smile.” The
Guardian
Former
BBC New Generation Artists, Quatuor Van Kuijk swept the board at
the 2015 Wigmore Hall International String Quartet competition. The French
ensemble is now an established presence in many of the most prestigious
international venues.
Sean Shibe
was the first guitarist ever to be selected for the BBC’s
New Generation Artists scheme, to be awarded a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship
and, in 2018, to receive the Royal Philharmonic
Society Award for Young Artists. He has made several award-winning recordings.
The
concert will feature guitar quintets by Boccherini and Castelnuovo-Tedesco and
Schubert’s String Quartet no.12 in C minor, D.703 "Quartettsatz". Sean
Shibe will also play some solo pieces.
