Late Change of Programme
Thursday 11th March. Unfortunately Min-Jin Kym has been taken ill. She is in hospital and will not be able to perform in Hull this Saturday. We wish her well and hope she makes a speedy recovery.
In the meantime we have been very fortunate to have secured excellent replacement artists. Chloë Hanslip (violin) and Ashley Wass (piano) will perform a programme they delivered in Ilkley only yesterday (Wednesday) to general acclaim. The programme includes the sonata by César Franck that Min-Jin was due to have played, Beethoven's Spring Sonata and works by Erwin Schulhoff and Szymanowski. Full details appear below.
We regret that the change has been necessary, but we are confident that our audience on Saturday will enjoy a concert of comparable quality.
Chloë Hanslip, violin
Ashley Wass, piano
| Erwin Schulhoff | Violin Sonata no 2 |
| Beethoven | Violin Sonata in F op 24 (Spring) |
| Franck | Violin Sonata in A |
| Szymanowski/Paganini | Three Caprices |
At the age of 22, Chloë is already an established international artist of distinction. Her recent recording for Naxos of the John Adams Violin Concerto with the RPO under Leonard Slatkin entered the UK Classical Charts at number 2, and Philip Clark, writing in Gramophone, concluded that "Playing like this should secure Chloë Hanslip's reputation for life". Her two earlier CDs with the London Symphony Orchestra for Warner Classics, won her, respectively, the German 'Echo Klassik Award for Best Newcomer' in 2002, and 'Young British Classical Performer' at the Classical BRITS 2003.
At ten, Chloë appeared as the 'infant prodigy violinist' in Ralph Fiennes’ film adaptation of Pushkin`s 'Evgeny Onegin', and made a significant contribution to Maxim Vengerov’s Master Class, shown on Channel 4 and throughout Europe, as part of the documentary ‘Playing by Heart’.
Chamber Music has become an integral part of Chloë`s life. She is a regular participant in Open Chamber Music at Prussia Cove, working with Steven Isserlis and Gerhard Schulz, and is a regular performer at the Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival in Finland being invited to perform in the 40th Anniversary celebration in 2009. In 2005 she received a personal invitation from Seiji Ozawa to attend his inaugural Chamber Music Festival in Blonay, Switzerland, which was subsequently extended to 2006 and 2007.
Chloë plays a 1737 Guarneri del Gesu.
I am converted - she (Chloë Hanslip) is likely to become the greatest violinist of her generation.
