Scenes from Provence

Part of the Free Saturday Lunchtime Recital at Holy Trinity Church Coventry 2018 Series

Add to my Calendar 21-07-2018 13:00 21-07-2018 15:00 36 Lindsay Martin (Flute) & Antoine Mitchell (Piano) Another free concert at Holy Trinity Broadgate   Although from Normandy, composer Antoine Mitchell’s heart has always been in the south of France. His 3 Promenades for Flute and Piano paint sound pictures of the beauty of the area, its gardens and buildings. Local flautist Lindsay Martin with the composer himself at the piano bring these images to life for you. Lindsay is a flautist and flute teacher living near Leamington Spa. She plays in local orchestras including Oriflamme Ensemble (which Antoine Mitchell directs), Warwickshire Symphony Orchestra and Warwick Orchestral Winds and also enjoys playing a variety of chamber music. Lindsay studied at Birmingham Conservatoire, graduating with first class honours, and has worked at the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and for Warwickshire County Music Service; she currently teaches privately and in schools in Warwick and Coventry. She has recently been continuing her flute studies with Marie-Christine Zupancic, principal flute of the CBSO, and last year performed two concertos: an orchestration of Poulenc’s Flute Sonata with Oriflamme Ensemble, and Sparke’s ‘Lindisfarne Rhapsody’ with Warwick Orchestral winds.  Antoine Mitchell studied at Trinity College of Music, the Royal Academy of Music and the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena. He won the RAM Club Prize awarded by the then Principal Sir Anthony Lewis and Ernest Read Conducting Prize and Diploma di Merito in Siena and in 1994 was awarded ARAM by the Academy. He owes debts of gratitude to all his teachers but especially John Gardner his composition teacher, Maurice Miles, Meredith Davies and his piano teacher George Rogers at the Academy, Franco Ferrara, Paul Badura Skoda and Carlo Maria Giulini in Siena. He was Chief Conductor of the Lublin State Philharmonic in Poland, the Essex Youth Orchestra, Essex Symphony and Southend Symphony orchestras, and guest conductor with the Cairo Symphony, Orquesta de la Communidad de Madrid, Czestochowa Philharmonic, Estonian Radio Symphony, CSFR Czech State Philharmonic and was director of the Festival de Primavera Andres Segocia in Madrid. He has also conducted seasons at the Teatro Sao Carlos in Lisbon. His favourite composers are (amongst others) Berlioz, Verdi and Schubert (and Bruckner). He really likes contemporary music (really) and has premiered such composers as Joaquin Rodrigo, Maati Kuulberg, David Loeb, Malcolm Arnold, Jeffrey Wilsom, Graham Whettam and Andrzej Nikodemowicz. Being a firm believer that a musician is only as good as his next concert, his ambition is to reduce his biographical notes to the barest essentials of which this paragraph is part of a work in progress.       Holy Trinity Church, Coventry DD/MM/YYYY
