Programme Highlights
One of today's most exciting classical guitarists, Sean Shibe returns to Grayshott Concerts to perform with the London Mozart Players in a programme that journeys from the elegance of the Baroque to the rich musical landscapes of Scotland.
Named by The Telegraph as one of the 10 brightest young stars in classical music, Shibe became the first guitarist to be selected as a BBC New Generation Artist. A graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, his accolades include the Royal Philharmonic Society Young Artist Award, a Gramophone Award and an Opus Klassik Award. He has performed at Carnegie Hall, the BBC Proms, Wigmore Hall, the Berlin Philharmonie and the Vienna Konzerthaus, and appeared on the cover of Gramophone magazine.
Programme highlights include:
Peter Maxwell Davies Farewell to Stromness
A poignant and deeply moving miniature inspired by the Orkney Islands, whose simple beauty has made it one of the composer's most cherished works.
Traditional Scottish melodies
Arranged from historic Scottish Lute Manuscripts, offering a fascinating glimpse into Scotland's rich musical heritage.
Vivaldi Mandolin Concerto in C major, RV 425
Sparkling with infectious energy, graceful melodies and the unmistakable brilliance of the Venetian Baroque.
Vivaldi Guitar Concerto in D major, RV 93
Originally written for the lute, where Sean Shibe's refined touch and luminous tone reveal every nuance of this much-loved masterpiece.
Stanley Myers Cavatina
The hauntingly beautiful theme from the Oscar-winning film The Deer Hunter, heard here in an intimate arrangement that perfectly suits Shibe's expressive style.
Jay Capperauld Schiehallion!
A vibrant contemporary work inspired by one of Scotland's most iconic mountains, full of rhythmic vitality and vivid orchestral colour.
Sally Beamish The Day Dawn
An evocative work that draws on Scottish folk traditions to create music of warmth, lyricism and atmosphere.
Grieg Holberg Suite, Op. 40
One of the composer's best-loved orchestral works, blending elegant Baroque dance forms with Grieg's unmistakable melodic gift in a joyful and uplifting conclusion to the evening.
From intimate solo playing to the rich sonorities of the full orchestra, this carefully curated programme showcases music spanning more than three centuries, performed by one of today's most celebrated guitarists and the outstanding London Mozart Players in the beautiful setting of St Luke's Church.
