Horatio Clare shares reflections on walking in his footsteps, alongside music by Bach, Buxtehude and others, including a world premiere by Silas Wollston, brought to life by the distinctive colours of cornetto, sackbut, strings and organ. ‘cornettist Glenton, keyboardist Silas Wollston and violinist Bojan Cicic pull material out of nowhere, like magicians … a fascinating journey’ BBC Music Magazine This project is supported by a grant from Continuo Foundation.

Tenebrae In Ripon

| Tenebrae Nigel Short conductor Glinka Cherubic Hymn Rachmaninov Cherubic Hymn Bruckner Os justi Bruckner Virga jesse floruit Martin Credo (Mass for Double Choir) Jason Max Ferdinand Journey UK PREMIERE Sarah Henderson Wanderers YORKSHIRE PREMIERE Kerensa Briggs Media vita Max Richter On the Nature of Daylight Poulenc Figure humaine The Journey marks 25 years of Tenebrae with music that has defined the choir, alongside new works written for this anniversary season. From the Cherubic Hymns of the Russian tradition and Bruckner’s radiant motets to premieres by Jason Max Ferdinand and Sarah Henderson, winner of Tenebrae’s composition competition, the concert culminates in Poulenc’s Figure humaine, one of the most demanding and remarkable of all choral works. Written during the occupation of France, it travels from private fear to a final, hard-won hymn to freedom that is one of the most powerful moments in 20th century music. ‘Unaccompanied choral singing comes no better than this: in blend, accuracy, precision, commitment’ The Guardian ‘For purity and precision of tone, and flawless intonation, Nigel Short’s chamber choir Tenebrae is pretty much unbeatable’ The Times Interval bar Please note start time of 7.30pm. Previous listing was incorrect and ticketholders have been notified.

Benjamin Grosvenor In Recital

| Benjamin Grosvenor piano Beethoven Theme and Variations on Rule Britannia Beethoven7 Variations on God Save the King Schumann Fantasie in C Scriabin Sonata no.2 in G-sharp minor Chopin Sonata no.2 in B-flat minor ‘A pianist to make you sigh with joy’ (New York Times) sets familiar tunes and big ideas side by side. Beethoven’s variations on English patriotic songs are alert and witty, testing ceremonial melodies with sharp intelligence. Schumann follows with music of restless imagination and passion. After the interval, a sonata by Scriabin shifts between dream and turbulence before Chopin ends the evening in music of stark contrasts and unforgettable intensity. ‘Benjamin Grosvenor is a genius who has reached the height of his interpretative powers’ The Spectator Interval bar
