Michael Cleaver piano
Taneyev Piano Quintet Arcturus is a chamber music group formed in 1999 by Michael Cleaver with colleagues from the English Northern Philharmonia (now the Orchestra of Opera North). Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear Taneyev’s great romantic quintet, completed in 1911. Conceived on a grand scale, this stunning piano quintet shines out as a masterwork standing shoulder to shoulder with any of the more familiar quintets of the modern repertoire. Taneyev was a pupil of Tchaikovsky and a teacher of both Rachmaninov and Scriabin. If any piece of chamber music deserves to be reinstated in the esteem of modern-day audiences, this is it!

The Music Serenade is made up of players from the Orchestra of Opera North. Reicha was one of the Paris Conservatoire’s most respected 19th century professors. The composition of his 24 Quintets encompassed the years 1810–20 and several of them, including Op 88, No 2, are symphonic in structure and substance. Hindemith played a prominent role in music history, not only as one of the leading composers of the century, but also as conductor, teacher and musical theorist. This quintet, with the title ‘little chamber music,’ appeared in 1922 and whilst perhaps invoking the outdoor wind divertimentos of the 18th century, there is a definite taunting of the late 19th century’s sonorous and emotional excesses.
Born in Aberdeenshire in 1991, Ian Watt has appeared as a soloist throughout Europe, in venues such as Schubert Hall (Vienna Concert House), National Philharmonic (Kiev), St John’s Smith Square (London) and Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. He studied with Allan Neave, firstly at Aberdeen City Music School then at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. His international awards and prizes include First prize (and the audience and junior jury prizes) at the Heinsberg International Guitar Competition 2011, first prize at the Westfalian Guitar Spring International Competition 2010, second prize at the Vienna International Guitar Competition Homage to Karl Scheit 2010, and third prize at the Koblenz International Guitar Competition 2011. A keen advocate of contemporary music, Ian has collaborated with composer John McLeod whose Guitar Concerto (dedicated to Watt and the composer’s first work for the instrument) he premiered in March 2010.
