A live recital, part of our new Summer Shorts series, from LSO St Luke’s on Friday 21 August at 1pm BST. Chick Corea: Duet Suite Gwilym Simcock: Suite for Percussion Quintet (mvts 2 & 3) Gwilym Simcock: Barber Blues LSO Percussion Ensemble:
To mark the 40th anniversary of the government’s Music and Dance Scheme (MDS), young musicians from the UK’s five specialist music schools release the results of an unprecedented collaboration, written and performed during lockdown.
Gwilym demonstrates that music has no boundaries as he explores sounds ranging from suspended choral harmonies by Eric Whitacre and celestial spirals on the harp, to a rarely heard piano quartet by William Walton and three intriguing minutes from Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla. Plus two very different sides of JS Bach and an irresistible Russian waltz.
New Album with LSO Percussion Ensemble featuring Gwilym’s suite of music for percussion and piano out on 6th March 2020
Gwilym’s solo album Near and Now voted no 6 in Jazzwise’s 2019 Best of Year Charts.
The new record features ten compositions by Metheny, who is joined by long-time drummer, Antonio Sanchez, Malaysian/Australian bassist Linda May Han Oh, and British pianist Gwilym Simcock as well as the Hollywood Studio Symphony conducted by Joel McNeely. Meshell Ndegeocello (vocals), Gregoire Maret (harmonica), and Luis Conte (percussion) are special guests on From This Place, Metheny’s first album of new material since 2014’s Kin (←→).
