Uniquely focused on both the baroque and the brand new, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale (PBO) announces the appointment of TARIK O REGAN as the 40-year old organization s first-ever Composer-in-Residence. In his three-and-a-half-year residency, O Regan will work closely with Music Director Richard Egarr, the Orchestra, Chorale, and staff, composing new works and establishing immersive relationships within the larger PBO community. This marks the first of two exciting and unprecedented PBO residencies this season. One of the most played, commissioned, and recorded British-American composers of his generation, Tarik O Regan s prolific output reflects his love of Renaissance vocal writing (his choral works are especially renowned) and the music of North Africa (his family is from Morocco and Algeria). The Washington Post describes his music as exquisite and delicate, while The Philadelphia Inquirer says it evokes previously unheard sound worlds with astonishing e ....

Itâs almost an inevitable question now, when you catch up with someone youâve not been in touch with during the Covid-19 pandemic â What have you been up to during the lockdown? Pianist Finghin Collins, who is also artistic director of Music for Galway and the New Ross Piano Festival, has always presented himself as an easy-going, optimistic, forward-facing character, a former child prodigy who launched his international career by winning the Clara Haskil International Piano Competition at the age of 22 in 1999. But, even for him, the first lockdown last March was âvery difficultâ. âIt came with such abruptness. There was nothing in place, no mental preparation, no physical infrastructures, online facilities. We werenât set up for it. It was a great shock to the system. What I said to many people at the time was the hardest thing about it was the lack of a finite end. We didnât know when or how it would end. We were gettin ....
TRIBUTES have been paid to a globally-renowned harpist from Flintshire who has died at the age of 92, Dr Osian Ellis CBE, who started playing again as he approached his 90th, collaborated with leading British composer Benjamin Britten and performed at the world’s finest concert venues.
