The Wigmore Hall marks its 115th anniversary in grand fashion, - live streaming three concerts this week online. Less than 500 people can fit into the exquisite Arts and Crafts building on Wigmore Street, but now everyone can tune in and catch some of the atmosphere. Having watched last year's experimental broadcast, I think these concerts will be well worth experiencing Enjoy the concerts online HERE on the Wigmore Hall website, or on medici tv (links below)
The concerts :
Schubert 31st May
Elisabeth Leonskaja performing Schubert’s Sonata in B flat major, Cuarteto Casals, and singers Sophie Bevan (soprano), Alice Coote (mezzo-soprano), Allan Clayton (tenor), Henk Neven (baritone) and pianist James Baillieu performing Schubert’s finest Lieder.
JS and JC Bach 1st June
Arcangelo with Jonathan Cohen, Isabel Faust (violin), Rachel Brown (flute) and Anna Luise Richter (soprano)
The Jack Quartet 2nd June
The JACK Quartet brings together the old and the new, with a programme including fourteenth-century French Ars nova and Carlo Gesualdo’s madrigals, alongside UK premières of new work by Caroline Shaw and John Zorn.
Three major facets of the Wigmore Hall - Schubert, piano music and song, Early music and baroque and chamber music, both modern and old.
