Most impressive was the finale where Cottis chose a speed that highlighted Mozart's breathtaking plenitude of invention with exhilarating delight. We will hear more of her welcome talent." Sydney Morning Herald "The director was the extraordinary Jessica Cottis, Anglo-Australian conductor, who last night led the orchestra as a queen. Full of energy and verve, Cottis was repeatedly able to tear applause even in the middle of scenes." Rolling Stone The coming few months sees Australian-born, London based, conductor Jessica Cottis focus on one side of her musical life when she gives a series of world premieres of major new works leading up and into 2019. Cottis’s innate musicality, intellectual rigour and dynamism on the podium have gained her international attention with long-running relationships with some of the world’s leading orchestras and ensembles. Alongside her performances of core repertoire, Cottis has also devoted a great deal of time and energy to performing new music: "There's a particular thrill of working on a new score when the ink is barely dry on the page.

    Autumn Special Online from 16 September 2020, 8:00pm | Holy Trinity Church, Haddington Matilda Lloyd trumpet Martin Cousin piano Alessandro Marcello Concerto in D Minor Théo Charlier Solo de Concours George Gershwin Three Preludes Johannes Brahms Intermezzo in A Major Raymond Gallois-Montbrun Sarabande et finale Serge Rachmaninov Three Songs Deborah Pritchard Seven Halts on the Somme The Lammermuir Festival is a registered charity in Scotland SC049521 Bringing together a selection of music from the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries, this mixed programme ably demonstrates the versatility of the trumpet. It features a series of works written both specifically for the instrument, as well a selection carefully adapted for it by Matilda, alongside a couple of gems for solo piano. Alessandro Marcello Concerto in D Minor 1. Andante e spiccato • 2. Adagio • 3. Presto Alessandro Marcello was born into one of Venice's leading families and became something of a polymath. He was highly regarded as a painter, writer and diplomat as well as a musician. His Concerto in D minor was originally intended to be performed by oboe and string orchestra, and J.S. Bach actually made an arrangement of it sometime around 1715 for harpsichord. However, its clarion-like solo line lends itself to the trumpet. Théo Charlier Solo de Concours Théo Charlier was a Belgian trumpet virtuoso and composer, whose 36 Études Transcendantes are to the trumpet what Paganini's Caprices are to the violin. Charlier was the first trumpeter in modern times to perform J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 2, with its notoriously fiendishly difficult trumpet part, and his own music draws together his innate understanding of the trumpet with a late-Romantic musical language.

Allegro con brio 2. Tema con variazioni: Andante con moto 3. Rondo: Allegro Beethoven’s first three violin sonatas were composed between 1797–98. Although they were dedicated to Antonio Salieri, with whom he might briefly have studied, they show the unmistakable influence Mozart made on Beethoven’s music at the time, as he acquired full fluency in the Viennese Classical style. And in the customary Classical style, they are indicated as sonatas ‘for pianoforte and violin’, with both instruments having a more or less equal role. While the Op. 12 violin sonatas are not necessarily as formally daring as the piano sonatas of the same period, they reveal Beethoven’s firm grasp of how to write idiomatically for the violin, as well as his increasing understanding of how to create a sonata style based on the apparent unification of two opposing forces. The opening movement begins with a bold unison figure, which quickly gives way to a sonorous first subject. In the central development section, rapid passages of semiquavers are passed between violin and piano in quick sequence, making for a vigorous dialogue. The middle movement takes the form of a theme and variations, the theme being audibly based on the opening figure of the previous movement.
