Oswestry School Recital Series

2008-2009 Programme Announced

This nineteenth Season, with its usual mix of old and new, seeks to expand yet further a reputation earned and maintained through the renown of the artistes appearing. That Oswestry School (a relatively small but ancient school in a small town) can provide a platform for the likes of Brendel, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, the OAE, Tasmin Little, the London Mozart Players, the Škampas, Marc-André Hamelin, Roscoe, Lill etc, must surely rank as a truly remarkable achievement.

In October, to open the Season and inaugurate our new grand piano, we welcome back one of the true friends of this Series, the internationally acclaimed pianist John Lill. Then comes the fabulous Esbjerg Ensemble from Denmark. In January, another visit from international star Tasmin Little, followed in February by the next of our much-valued collaborations with SMT and Orchestras Live, this time the City of London Sinfonia. In March, one of the most exciting string quartets on the international scene, the Royal Quartet, from Poland, and then to close what will have been a truly varied and delightful lineup, a true Celebrity Recital by a group known to music lovers around the world, the King’s Singers.
