A programme highlighting Stravinsky's far-reaching influences in the 20th and 21st century by violinist Fenella Humphreys and pianist Annie Yim. Winner of the 2018 BBC Music Magazine Instrumental Award, violinist Fenella Humphreys enjoys a busy career focusing on chamber music and solo work. Her playing has been described in the press as ‘amazing’ (The Scotsman) and ‘a wonder’ (IRR). Annie Yim is a Hong Kong-born Canadian concert pianist, creative collaborator, and founder of MusicArt based in London. Her performance has been described by The Times as "the most beautiful sounds, radiantly coloured, thoughtfully articulated”.
Concerts at Christ Church Kensington is a new concert series which brings together stunning acoustics, diverse musical talents and an enchanting organic garden in a charming neighbourhood in London.
Co-directed by Sam Barber, Director of Music at Christ Church, and pianist Annie Yim, the inaugural concert series 2021/22 includes music ranging from the 12th century to contemporary composers. The bi-monthly lunchtime and evening concerts will feature award-winning soloists and ensembles, as well as student showcases from London music conservatoires.
As a non-profit community project, the concert series aims to pioneer a holistic approach to the concert experience. In partnership with Growing Space, a community organic garden at Christ Church, artists and audiences are invited to the enclosed garden for a post-concert reception.
