Dartington Summer School Week Five Concerts, 20 - 27 August 2011

The music of Schumann and Brahms runs through Week 5. The Australian conductor Brad Cohen directs the Summer School Choir in Brahms’ A German Requiem alongside choral songs by Schumann. Another focus is on the music of the Irish composer Gerald Barry, including much of his piano music, played by Noriko Kawai, and both of his piano quartets. More new music, in the shape of a new piece by Dominic Muldowney, has been specially commissioned by the Summer School for the saxophone player John Harle. There is a rich range of other music from early, with Stile Antico, to Beethoven with the Barbirolli Quartet. Alexander Janiczek, Lowri Blake and Ian Brown perform piano trios and Richard
Edgar-Wilson gives a programme including songs for tenor, horn and piano by Schubert and Britten.
