Our newest Artist in Association Matthew Sharp returns to Stockport Town Hall to perform the elegiac masterpiece that is Elgar’s Cello Concerto, which celebrates its centenary this year. Matthew is internationally recognised as both a compelling classical artist and a fearless pioneer, who can just as easily turn his hand to remarkable cello-playing as he can to mesmerising audiences with his vibrant baritone. The concert is the public conclusion of a programme of workshops and concerts in Stockport schools, led and directed by Matthew in a unique linking of education and concert work. The programme also includes Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony, two of Dvořák’s Slavonic Dances and the sublime Waltz from Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty.
