A recital given by younger students from Chetham’s School of Music.
Chetham’s students have won the BBC Young Musician of the Year
Competition on 3 occasions, including in 2002, when Jennifer Pike
won at the age of 12. In the 2006 competition, 2 of the 5 finalists,
Cordelia Williams on piano and Huw Morgan on trumpet, were at
Chetham’s, as were a further 5 of the semi-finalists. This concert
is a rare opportunity to see and hear the School’s next generation
of wonderfully talented musicians and stars of the future.

Take a group of the hottest
contemporary fiddle players from the Highlands and Islands of
Scotland and you’ve got Blazin’ Fiddles on your hands. In the past
decade no other band has quite captured the excitement, passion and
the sensitivity of Scottish music as Blazin’ Fiddles. During a
performance, the audience has a rare opportunity to hear pieces
featuring the regional styles of each fiddler followed by all hands
jumping in for a wonderful explosion of music. Fiddles and bows
blaze away with guitar and piano for one of the most exciting and
memorable fiddle ensembles ever to take the stage.
