SUMMARY:Elégie; Rachmaninoff – A Heart in Exile
DESCRIPTION:Elegie chronicles the life of composer and pianist Sergei Rachmaninoff. Though he became an exile in 1917\, Russia remained deeply rooted in his soul. His cultural identity and his longing for his homeland imbue his music\, not least the many much-loved works he wrote for his own instrument\, the piano. The narrative\, scripted from letters and diaries\, follows Rachmaninoff from his youth in Russia\, through his subsequent self-imposed exile in 1917 and finally to California USA\, where he died in 1943. \nThe concert includes many of his best-loved works for solo piano\, including a selection of Preludes\, Etudes-Tableaux and Moments Musicaux\, some of his own transcriptions and the haunting Elégie\, as well as works by Scriabin and Tchaikovsky. \nKnown internationally for her ‘Composer Portraits’ in words and music\, pianist Lucy Parham is presenting Elegie in 2023 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Rachmaninoff\, and is joined by internationally renowned stage and screen actor\, Sir Simon Russell Beale\, for this special performance.

SUMMARY:Kris Drever in concert
DESCRIPTION:Cherished and admired in equal measure by listeners and fellow musicians\, award-winning guitarist\, singer\, songwriter and prolific collaborator Kris Drever has been a leading light on the UK roots scene for well over a decade. \nA highly skilled guitarist who adroitly blends traditional folk and flat picking with more contemporary influences – allied to a distinctively relaxed and poised vocal burr – Kris is an astonishingly fine interpreter of others’ songs\, with an increasingly frequent knack for concocting seriously smart lyrical observations and earworm melodies of his own. \nKris Drever is a Scottish folk singer songwriter\, who has won multiple awards including an incredible 7 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards\, two shortlist nominations for Scottish Album of The Year (with his trio Lau) and much acclaim for his solo recordings and concerts including glowing reviews from The Herald\, The Guardian\, Mojo and Q Magazine. \nHis recent single “Scapa Flow 1919” was nominated for Best Original Track by BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards whilst his (John Parish produced) album with Lau\, “Midnight and Closedown” was released in 2019 by Reveal Records to wild acclaim including being chosen in The Best Albums of The Year feature by The Guardian. \nDrever’s voice and guitar form a part of the backbone of today’s contemporary roots and folk scene. Hugely admired as a solo artist\, collaborator\, a phenomenal and prolific artist. Kris has collaborated with Cream’s Jack Bruce\, Bela Fleck\, Tinariwen\, Joan As Police Woman\, Jerry Douglas\, Danny Thompson\, Tim O’Brien\, Sarah Jarosz\, Shawn Colvin\, Phil Cunningham\, Rosanne Cash\, Roddy Woomble\, Eddi Reader\, Adem\, Kate Rusby\, Julie Fowlis\, Karine Polwart\, Seckou Keita and many more.
