Alison Balsom has cemented an international reputation as one of classical music’s great ambassadors and is one of the most distinctive musicians on the international circuit today.
For this perfectly balanced recital of pieces new and old, she is joined by guest trombonist Becky Smith and by pianist Tom Poster, who collaborated with her on composing The Thoughts of Dr May.
Especially for this Recital, Cambridgeshire Music and Cambridge Live have jointly commissioned a piece by Jay Richardson for the ‘Alison Balsom Brass Project’. ‘Distraction’ is a massed brass piece for beginners to professionals, demonstrating progression and featuring all the brass instruments used in brass band and orchestra. The solo trumpet line is played by Alison and the 70 piece band is conducted by Becky Smith.
Please note: this is an additional event to the eight concerts making up the Cambridge Classical Concert Series.
