THE HOLBURNE MUSEUM FOURTH EVENING CONCERT SERIES
SOLO BACH
Artistic Director: Jason Thornton
Ticket £24 (no concessions) Tel 01225 388569
Collections and collecting are at the heart of the Holburne Museum and our evening concert series is rapidly gaining a reputation for presenting collections of works by the greatest composers by a selection of Britain’s most celebrated musicians. The focus of our fourth evening concert series is J.S.Bach. We present complete cycles of his Cello & Lute Suites as well as all of his Partitas and Sonatas for Solo Violin.
In keeping with previous seasons we have a line-up of the very best performers in the country including LSO Principal Cellist and Soloist Tim Hugh, the astonishing young violinist Tamsin Waley Cohen and one of the most recorded Guitarists of his generation, Craig Ogden.
In the final recital, international concert pianist Ashley Wass brings us right up to date with a recital titled “Bach to the Future”, focusing on Bach’s influence on the 19th & 20th centuries including Busoni’s transcription of the D minor Chaconne and Alban Berg’s Sonata Opus 1. The picture gallery at the Holburne is the perfect intimate and inspirational settings for these intense musical experiences.

Craig Ogden (guitar)
Bach Lute Suites 1-4
Originally written for the now obsolete lute harpsichord, this is a very rare opportunity to hear all of the Bach Lute Suites in one concert performed by one of their greatest living interpreters. Again these suites are masterful interpretations of the dance genres of Bach’s time. It is often said Bach had a particular passion for both the lute and the lute harpsichord.

King’s Place
London: UK
With: Craig Ogden
Hall Two, King’s Place, London
Celebrated guitarist and Classic FM favourite Craig Ogden presents a unique collaboration with Norwegian 7-string metal guitarist/singer/songwriter The Commander in Chief. This will be their very first live UK performance in a programme to include a variety of solos from Craig and duos from this extraordinary pairing of two very different types of guitar. Together Craig and The Commander in Chief perform arrangements of virtuoso violin works including Sarasate’s Ziguenerweisen Op. 20 along with other pieces across the classical spectrum. Craig’s solo repertoire will include music by Scarlatti, Albeniz, Tarrega and Gary Ryan.
The Commander-in-Chief is a 24 year old Norwegian 7-string guitarist/singer/songwriter in metal, hard rock and classical music. An official Ibanez artist, she plays the prototype Falchion 7-string, the only one of its kind in the world. She is also endorsed by Laney Amps, EMG pickups, Audix microphones and Presonus. In December 2013 she released the first ever guitar recording of the classical violin piece Sarasate’s Ziguenerweisen Op. 20. It was immediately featured in the world’s biggest guitar magazine, Guitar World and in the prestigious Guitar Aficionado magazine, and was fourth on Guitar World’s Top 10 Viral Videos of 2013 after just three weeks. It charted as No. 1 on the iTunes Classical chart in Norway and it also charted in the USA. It is a ‘guitar duel’ with a classical guitarist – the recording and video has had a very surprising crossover appeal and it is being praised from people who are into all kinds of music genres. She was a guest on BBC Radio, on Mike Read’s show, where her version of Zigeunerweisen was played. The Chief was also featured on a major newspaper’s front page in Norway (Bergens Tidende, BT).

Tippett:
The Blue Guitar,

String Quartet No. 4
Tippett’s musical style and aesthetic outlook evolved to embrace single-movement forms and bold self-quotation during the three decades that separate his third and fourth quartets.
The Fourth String Quartet, a masterpiece of thematic concision and concentration, The Blue Guitar (1982–3) and Fourth Piano Sonata make ideal companions to Songs for Achilles, first performed by Peter Pears and Julian Bream in 1961.
