Saturday 16th July Alexei Grynyuk (piano) Wesley Chapel Kiev-born pianist Alexei Grynyuk displayed tremendous interest in music from his early childhood and at just six years old started giving his first concerts. Equally at home in Classical, Romantic and Twentieth-Century repertoire, Grynyuk has been described by Le Figaro (Paris) as “master of transparent and sovereign touch…astonishing personality and absolute transcendental virtuosity”. He has already appeared at many of the world’s most renowned concert halls, including Wigmore Hall and the South Bank Centre in London, Salle Cortot & Salle Gaveau in Paris, the Great Hall of Moscow Conservatoire, Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and other prominent venues of Europe, United States, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and Morocco. “Sublime playing. Breathtaking performance…it seemed a young Horowitz was reborn.” – Pianowereld Magazine, Amsterdam

Bonded by a musical consensus and shared vision, the Heathcliff Trio was founded in late 2020. Created from a decade-long collaboration between childhood friends Ashley Tong and Sebastian Kolin, who studied together at the Yehudi Menuhin School, they encountered Danish pianist, Jonathan Siahaan, upon completing their studies, whose resonating philosophy pronounced himself the final choice of a long-lasting search. The Heathcliff Trio recently won 1st prize in the 9th International Johannes Brahms Chamber Music Competition with two additional special prizes including the best interpretation of a piece by Brahms. The Trio recently made their debut at Wigmore Hall for the final concert of The Parkhouse Award International Competition for Chamber Music.

The Amici Ensemble was originally formed in the 1980s to showcase the talents of professional musicians based in the region, and to demonstrate that great, high-quality orchestral music can be programmed locally without having to draw players from further afield. The players are traditionally drawn from the region’s larger professional orchestras including Opera North, the Halle and BBC Philharmonic, which ensures an incredibly high standard of performance. Whilst renowned for accompanying soloists and choirs, the orchestra are delighted to be returning to a more symphonic repertoire with a fitting close to the 2022 Harrogate Music Festival, conducted by our Music Festival Guest Curator, William Dutton.
