Proms at St Jude's - Counterpoise

  • Thursday 30 June 2016
at St. Jude's Church .
7.45pm An American Dream. Fenella Humphrys (violin), Deborah Calland (trumpet), Kyle Horch (sax), and Iain Farrington (piano), with Robert Winslade Anderson (bass). Music of the old and new Americas, including Copland’s Old American Songs, Piazzolla tangos, Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess and Dizzy Gillespie, interspersed with poems by Walt Whitman and Langston Hughes. Formed in 2008 to give the first performance of "On the Edge" by Edward Rushton, Counterpoise comprises some of the most sought-after instrumentalists in the UK, with the unconventional line-up of violin, trumpet, saxophone and piano enabling composers to experiment with challenging fusions of music, text and visuals. The group has appeared at the City of London, Cheltenham, Buxton and Newbury Festivals, as well as other significant venues up and down the country. The players are joined tonight by bassist Robert Winslade Anderson a former ABRSM international Scholar at the Royal Academy of Music, who has since enjoyed much success in appearances with many of the UK’s major opera companies, such as Scottish Opera, English National Opera, Glyndebourne and Birmingham Opera Company. ‘… delivered by Counterpoise with aplomb’ The Times; ‘… weird and wonderful’ The Independent. Supported by Godfrey & Barr.
