Charles Owen

  • Charles Owen · Piano

Charles Owen returns with a programme devoted to three of his favourite composers. The spirit of the dance runs through Schumann's ebullient Carnaval evoking figures both fantastical and real. Schubert's epic Wanderer Fantasie spans a range of moods inspired by the composer's own eponymous song. Ravel at his most magical will be heard in this evocative Valses and haunting Pavane.

Programme highlights

  • Pavane pour une infante défunte Ravel

Linarol Consort

Linarol Consort: Shipwreck

David Hatcher and ensemble

  • David Hatcher
  • Alison Kinder
  • Claire Horacek
  • Timothy Lin
  • James Gilchrist
  • Heloise Bernard

Since its formation, the Linarol Consort has performed in numerous festivals in the UK and abroad. In 2023, the consort toured the UK with tenor James Gilchrist, presenting a programme of early German song, and this was followed by a collaboration with Heloise Bernard in early French song.

A programme exploring the splendour of the courts of England and Burgundy and the hazards of international travel through the chance meeting of Henry VII and Philip the Handsome. On instruments that are exact copies of the viols that may well have been the first to be seen in England, the Linarol Consort perform music that was known to both King Henry VII of England and King Philip the Handsome of France, who became shipwrecked on the south coast of England in January 1506.
