Concerts Penzance New Season
Concerts Penzance announce a new season of concerts
between October and March, presenting a diverse range of international quality
performances at a fraction of the cost of similar events in the big
cities.
To celebrate the opening of the season the first concert on
Saturday October 14th does even better than that – a FREE concert
given by the outstanding young violinist Bilegtugs Lut with Concerts Penzance’
founder Tim Boulton. At just 12 years
old Bill has already been prizewinner in 4 international violin competitions
and his playing has a maturity, depth, magnetism and virtuosity that captivating
to hear – a top class star in the making.
Bill will perform Bach’s D minor Partita alongside virtuoso showpieces
by Wienawski and Paganinni, and together with Tim Boulton they perform Mozart’s
G major duo and the Passacaglia for violin and viola by Handel arranged by
Halvorsen. There are no advance tickets
for this free concert – just come along to St. John’s Hall at 7.30pm on October
14th.
Looking a little further ahead, the extraordinarily talented
Scottish guitarist Sean Shibe comes to Penzance on Saturday 4th
November, following his success at the Edinburgh Fringe earlier this year. His programme contrasts ancient Scottish lute
music with contemporary works for multitracked electric guitar.
And further ahead still, on December 10th the Dante String Quartet take their turn with a concert including works by Haydn, Shostakovich, Arensky and Beethoven, followed on March 10th
by the Engegaard Quartet from Norway, featuring Haydn's 'Fifths' quartet, Oli Mustonen's recently comissioned string quartet, and Mozart's G minor String Quintet, with Tim Boulton.
