We welcome the prize winning and acclaimed British pianist Leon Mccawley to open our 2019/20 concert series. McCawley has appeared at most of prestigious concert halls in the world and his performances are often broadcasted on BBC Radio 3. The programme includes Haydn, Schubert, Schumann, Hans Gal, Brahms and Chopin. Hans Gal (1890-1987) was the Viennese émigré composer who lived in Edinburgh whose complete piano music McCawley has recorded.
In October, we present a promising young Latvian cellist, Kristiana Ignatjeva with the talented pianist, Alison Rhind. Both have already won numerous prizes at international competitions in their field.
Our chamber performances explore some of the great works by Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Hindson. The Elias String Quartet, formed at Royal Northern College of Music in 1998 and widely known as the one of most intense and vibrant Quartets of their generation, will perform two of Beethoven’s quartets.
We will have two more well established ensembles. Artisti Con Brio (24th February) and Trio Shaham Erez Wallfisch (16th March), are both highly experienced and renowned chamber groups. Artisti Con Brio is a string quintet (two violins, two violas and a cello) and Trio Shaham Erez Wallfisch, a piano trio (piano, violin and cello). They perform Beethoven’s fine works as 2020 is this great composer’s 250th anniversary.
For the January concert we welcome Cavendish Winds, a young and enthusiastic group of wind players, boasting wide and interesting repertoires. Finally, in April some very gifted musicians of Junior RNCM will bring us a fresh and inspiring performance to end our season.
We look forward to seeing you at these exciting concerts!
