SUMMARY:WRE SALON | CLASSICAL TRADITIONS - West Riding Ensemble Quartet with Sofia Nikolaeva
DESCRIPTION:In this concert WRE reverts to its core identity as a project-based chamber ensemble. In 2025\, West Riding Ensemble founder members David Milsom\, Maria Nikolaeva\, Charlotte Kenyon\, and George Kennaway undertook a string quartet tour of works by Beethoven\, Dvořák\, and Shostakovich; now they perform two more favourites of the repertoire: Schubert’s Quartettsatz in C minor\, and Mendelssohn’s op. 12 string quartet. \nIn the genial and conversational Mozart Clarinet Quintet they are joined by young clarinetist Sofia Nikolaeva in her chamber music debut with WRE.

SUMMARY:Prattyush Banerjee\, Giuliano Modarelli & Gurdain Rayatt
DESCRIPTION:Scintillating crossover collaboration between three virtuoso’s at their respective instruments: guitar\, tabla and sarod.\nPrattyush Banerjee\, a master musician\, is at once a virtuoso of the modern sarod\, a skilled composer\, and someone who has evolved the design of his instrument into the twenty-first century. He has contributed scores for Bollywood movies (Piku\, Madras Café)\, collaborated with countless other musicians\, and recently invented an electrified version of the sarod\, the jyotidhwani. Born in Kolkata\, the young Prattyush was immersed in music from an early age\,  with his father being a renowned record collector. He began studying the sarod aged eight. \nGiuliano Modarelli is a virtuosic guitarist\, composer\, producer\, and educator from Italy. His music transcends genres\, embracing cultural exchange and collaboration. He has worked alongside such names as Shankar Mahadevan\, Bill Laurance\, Talvin Singh and Nitin Sawhney. Giuliano is the co-founder of Kefaya\, an award-winning collective that (together with Hazara singer Elaha Soroor) fuses Afghan folk traditions with jazz\, electronic music\, and psychedelic rock. Here he reunites with his teacher and mentor in Hindustani music\, Prattyush. \nBorn in the UK\, Gurdain Rayatt is one of the leading tabla players and teachers in UK and Europe performing internationally with renowned Indian Classical musicians as well as world/crossover and fusion projects spanning several genres. He has accompanied legends of the Indian Classical music world including Ustad Amjad Ali Khan\, Ustad Shahid Parvez\, Pandit Birju Maharaj\, Pandit Kushal Das\, Rakesh Chaurasia\, Purbayan Chatterjee\, Niladri Kumar\, Anoushka Shankar and many more. Gurdain has been teaching for over 10 years\, bringing the joy of tabla to his students. \nGiuliano will perform 20 minutes as a tribute to his teacher\, before introducing Prattyush onstage\, with Gurdain accompanying throughout. This promises to be an unmissable evening of music from three adventurous performers\, operating at the height of their musicianship.

SUMMARY:STRINGS AND ORGAN - West Riding Ensemble String Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Here WRE brings together professional players and students of artistic director David Milsom in a string orchestra tour de force\, featuring two concerti\, and one of the most celebrated British string orchestra compositions. \nVaughan Williams’ Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis stands as a pinnacle of a peculiarly British association with the string orchestra as an ensemble\, and is paired in this programme with the poignant Romance for string orchestra by Gerald Finzi. \nA total melodic and harmonic contrast is provided by Poulenc’s electrifying\, modernist Organ Concerto\, in spite of a gap in time of only 28 years after the Vaughan Williams Fantasia. This work (which also includes timpani) sees St Marie’s Cathedral’s Director of Music and organist Robert Webb as soloist on the fine\, restored but unmodernised three-manual Lewis organ\, which is in its 150th anniversary year. \nThe focal point for WRE founders David Milsom and Maria Nikolaeva is performing the world premiere of Vermeer Music\, a work written by Ian Crew for them as violin soloists with a string ensemble. The work uses Baroque forms\, including divisions (florid variations)\, and a fugato\, separating the players into ‘concertino’ (soloists) and ‘ripieno’ (ensemble) in the tradition of the Baroque concerto grosso. The work acts as a deep contemplation of the musical relationship of the two soloists\, initially as student and teacher\, but increasingly as colleagues and collaborators\, brought together with the inspiration of several paintings by the Dutch artist\, Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675). This makes for a complex\, interwoven texture which links to perfection WRE’s union of scholarship\, performance passion\, and pedagogy. \nIn keeping with the raison d’être of WRE\, the string ensemble includes a number of students. WRE is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to give a professional platform to emerging young musicians in an ‘apprentice’ model\, and pays students a fair fee for their work. \nPROGRAMME\nCREW: Vermeer Music Concerto Grosso for two solo violins and string orchestra (2026)\nPOULENC: Organ Concerto (1938)\nVAUGHAN WILLIAMS: Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis (1910)\nFINZI: Romance (1928) \nPERFORMERS\nDavid Milsom & Maria Nikolaeva – solo violins\nRobert Webb – organ\nWRE String Orchestra\nConductors: Ian Crew\, John Lyon\, and Wilf Dingle

SUMMARY:Musica Antica Rotherhithe
DESCRIPTION:La Decima Musa\, or The Tenth Muse: Music from the Golden Age of Venetian Opera\, 1650-1660\nMusica Antica Rotherhithe present cantatas and extracts from operas written for Venice’s public theatres in the mid-seventeenth century\, many of which have lain unperformed for over 350 years. Using surviving payment records from venetian theatres\, Mezzo Camilla Seale and countertenor Tristram Cooke will be accompanied by an ensemble which matches a Venetian theatre band of the time as closely as possible\, comprising two violins\, bass viol\, two theorbos\, harpsichord and a pentagonal virginal. \nMusica Antica Rotherhithe was founded by Oliver Doyle and Jessica Eucker in 2016 with the aim of presenting affordable\, accessible concerts of rarely heard music from the fifteenth\, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Since then\, it has created a popular home for lesser-known repertoire in South East London; alongside regular concerts\, they have staged the anonymous one-act venetian comedy Lo Spedale (2018\, 2019 & 2024) and given several works their UK or modern premiere. These include Michelangelo Falvetti’s Diluvio Universale (2020); Domenico Belli’s Orfeo Dolente (2021); Alessandro Striggio’s Cicalamento delle Donne al Buccato (2024) and Antonio Draghi’s L’Humanità Redenta. Where modern scores for these works do not exist\, Musica Antica create performing editions complete with translations and critical notes\, which are made freely available online thanks to the Cavalli Charity. This concert has been made possible by the Continuo Foundation. \nDoors 7\, performance 7.30 \nProgramme \nFrancesco Cavalli (1602 – 1676) \nCantata: Se la giù negl’abissi \nTorindo\, ove s’in via\, from Orimonte (1650) \nDolce Frode\, from Eritrea (1652) \nAhi questo è il fine amaro\, from Erismena (1655) \nBarbara Strozzi (1619 -1677) \nEraclito Amoroso\, from Cantate\, ariette\, e duetti (1651) \nFrancesco Lucio (1628 – 1658) \nDonne belle e vezzose from Medoro (1658) \nDa Amorose Passione\, from Medoro (1658) \nPietro Andrea Ziani (1616 – 1684) \nRodope\, dove sei\, from Le Fortune di Rodope e Damira (1657) \nMarmi spietati from Le Fortune di Rodope e Damira (1657) \nEnsemble \nMezzo: Camilla Seale \nCountertenor: Tristram Cooke \nViolin: Andrew Taheny & Sophia Mücke \nBass viol: Harry Buckoke \nTheorbo: Kristiina Watt & Jonatan Bougt \nKeyboards: Luke Mitchell & Oliver Doyle
