大象传媒

As part of the celebrations marking the 20th anniversary of the 大象传媒 New Generation Artists scheme, a chance to hear a concert given at the 2019 Bath Mozartfest. Current NGAs the Aris Quartet play Haydn's "Sunrise" Quartet, so-called because of its evocative opening to the first movement. Reflecting the wealth of collaborative opportunities the scheme affords, the brilliant young horn player Alec Frank-Gemmill, and equally talented violist Eivind Ringstad, both highly successful graduates of the scheme, then join forces with three members of the Aris Quartet for a tour de force performance of Mozart's Horn Quintet in E flat major. Following the interval, during which you can hear another stellar NGA, the pianist Francesco Piemontesi playing Liszt, the Aris Quartet are joined once again by Eivind Ringstad in a performance of one of Mozart's most profound and moving works for strings, the Quintet in G minor, K516.

Founded in 1999 with the aim of supporting and nurturing some of the world鈥檚 most exciting young musicians at the start of their international careers, the NGA scheme now boasts well over a hundred distinguished alumni. Membership of the NGA scheme is for a period of just over two years, during which time artists can expect to appear at some of the UK鈥檚 most prestigious venues and festivals, perform with the 大象传媒 orchestras, make studio recordings, and commission new work.

Introduced from the Guildhall, Bath by Sarah Walker.
