SUMMARY:Gala Afternoon Concert: Roderick Williams (baritone) & Christopher Glynn (piano)
DESCRIPTION:\nJoin us for an unmissable free gala afternoon concert with one of Britain’s best-loved singers, Roderick Williams, and Grammy award-winning pianist Christopher Glynn!\nAn English Winterreise\nSchubert’s Winterreise is one of the most powerful and brilliant song cycles ever written. Here, it is interspersed with a sequence of songs by English composers including Vaughan Williams, Finzi, Quilter, Parry, Britten and Butterworth, which mirror and illuminate Schubert’s epic winter’s journey.\n—\nRoderick Williams is one of the most sought-after baritones of his generation with a wide repertoire spanning baroque to contemporary.  He enjoys relationships with all the major UK and European opera houses also performs regularly with leading conductors and orchestras throughout the UK, Europe, North America and Australia.  Festival appearances include the BBC Proms, Edinburgh, Cheltenham, Aldeburgh and Melbourne.   As a recitalist he is in demand around the world and appears regularly at venues including the Wigmore Hall, Concertgebouw and Musikverein and at song festivals including Leeds Lieder, Oxford International Song and Ludlow English Song.\nRoderick Williams was awarded an OBE in June 2017 and was Artist in Residence with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra from 2020-22, Artist in Residence at the 2023 Aldeburgh Festival and Singer in Residence at Music in the Round. He was also one of the featured soloists at the coronation of King Charles III in 2023.\nAs a composer he has had works premièred at Wigmore Hall, the Barbican, the Purcell Room and on national radio. In 2016 he won Best Choral Composition at the British Composer Awards and from 2022/23 he holds the position of Composer in Association of the BBC Singers.\n—\nChristopher Glynn is an award-winning pianist and accompanist, praised for his ‘breathtaking sensitivity’ (Gramophone), ‘irrepressible energy, wit and finesse’ (The Guardian), ‘a perfect fusion of voice and piano’ (BBC Music Magazine) and as ‘an inspired programmer’ (The Times). He is Artistic Director of the Ryedale Festival, programming around sixty events each year in beautiful and historic venues across North Yorkshire.\nChris read music at New College, Oxford and studied piano with John Streets in France and Malcolm Martineau at the Royal Academy of Music, where he now teaches. He has made many CD recordings and is regularly heard on BBC Radio 3.\nAn interest in bringing classical song to a wider audience led Chris to commission Jeremy Sams to create new English translations of Schubert’s song cycles which have been recorded for Signum Records as well as Wolf Italian Songbook.  Recent and future plans include recitals with Roderick Williams, Claire Booth and Ian Bostridge, further collaborations with Jeremy Sams (Schumann songs), CD recordings with Nicky Spence, Kathryn Rudge, Claire Booth, Roderick Williams and The Sixteen, performances at the Spitalfields, Lammermuir, Oxford Lieder, Leeds Lieder and Bath festivals, leading masterclasses for the Britten Pears School, a tour of Wolf’s Italian Songbook, and embarking on a project with Rachel Podger to perform and record Mozart and Beethoven’s Violin Sonatas as well as many appearances at the Wigmore Hall and the Concertgebouw.\n+++PLEASE NOTE+++\nBooking for this concert is strongly recommended.\nhttps://www.ticketsource.co.uk/booking/select/nprbazpgjrab ( https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/booking/select/nprbazpgjrab )\nFor concert and general enquiries, please email concerts@howdenshiremusic.co.uk or telephone Steven Goulden on 07743 448123.\n\n\nEvent Details\nDoors Open at 2:00PM\nFrom 2:30PM to 4:30PM\n\n\nLocation\nHowden Minster, East Yorkshire, DN14 7BS\n
