The Department of Music is proud to announce the launch of the Spring 2012 Concert Season. As usual there is a good mix of repertoire, ranging from early music to first performances. Earlier repertoire is well represented this season; our postgraduate organ scholar, Ralph Stelzenmuller, who is also a distinguished harpsichordist, joins forces with Caroline Ritchie in a concert of music by C.P.E. Bach. There will also be a performance by students who have been working with our original eighteenth-century violins (by Joseph Ruddiman) under the expert guidance of Claire and Amanda Babington.Â
We are delighted to present the premiere of a song cycle by the eminent composer Thea Musgrave, especially written of one of our undergraduate singers, Andrew McNeill, who will give the first performance. Â The cycle of Beethoven string quartets in performances by the Edinburgh Quartet continues in a collaborative project with Aberdeen City Council and the concert series ends in May with Dame Emma Kirkby, one of our visiting performance fellows, alongside some splendid musicians in a concert featuring music associated with Christina, Queen of Sweden.
