Having enjoyed an outstanding concert by the Manchester Camerata as the final concert of our 2011-12 season we look forward to another Orchestras Live concert on 24 September as the curtain raiser for next season. The Orchestra of the Swan brings an attractive English programme featuring Vaughan Williams' most popular short piece The Lark Ascending performed by the young rising star Tamsin Waley-Cohen and Elgar's two most celebrated contributions to the string orchestra repertoire.

The Escher String Quartet (15 October) have to be seen and heard to be believed - this brilliant American ensemble, currently BBC Young Generation Artists, play with a maturity of style beyond their years and present an intriguing mixture of Purcell, Britten and late Beethoven. Then we welcome back the Rautio Piano Trio with Sarah Jane Bradley (viola) on 19 November in a deeply satisfying programme of German classics.

The New Year brings a not-to-be-missed recital (21 January) by the extraordinarlly gifted Kiev-born pianist Alexei Grynyuk. As soloist and chamber player in Nicola Benedetti's Piano Trio, he combines amazing virtuosity with poetic vision - an orgy of Chopin and Liszt in prospect! Our final two concerts feature distinguished wind players - on 18 February the exciting and experienced Fibonacci Sequence in a wide ranging programme for piano and wind; then local virtuoso flautist Ben Mac Dougall on 25 March. Now forging an international career Ben performs a fascinating programme of flute music designed to challenge and entertain.
