We are very pleased that house composer Sadie Harrison has received a most positive review for her piece 10,000 Black Men Named George from Charlottesville Classical. The work was released earlier this year on Divine Art Metier (MEX 77132) performed by the Kreutzer Quartet. 

Three distinguished pianists are playing at Late Music York this weekend, at the Unitarian Chapel, St Saviourgate: David Hammond, Jakob Fichert and Ian Pace.  Firstly, David Hammond (Friday 5th April, 1pm) continues his exploration of composers with a Yorkshire connection.  Late Music York write: ‘The programme includes music by the remarkably talented Richard Stoker, William Baines’ Goodnight to Flamboro’, Sadie Harrison’s tribute to Baines, 3 Portraits of William Baines from Shadows: Six Portraits of William Baines plus Frederick Delius’ On hearing the first cuckoo in Spring’.  On Saturday 6th April at 1pm Jakob Fichert will present a programme curated by Tom Armstrong (composer and alumnus of the University of York) which will comprise a tapestry of variations from Schumann to Beehoven to Liszt and Leighton – four discreet panels threading together works from the 19th to the 21st centuries.
