ECHO Rising Stars: Sean Shibe
Popular plucked-string instruments such as the guitar and lute are arguably better placed than other classical instruments to move across and behind nationalist, stylistic and historical lines. This is a notion with which Sean Shibe himself would surely agree – as witness today’s beautifully curated programme.

Fenella Humphreys & Leah Broad
Today’s concert shines a light on four remarkable female composers who overcame considerable odds – and social pressure – to make their mark in a man’s world. Presenting their music is a trio of equally remarkable women: Fenella Humphreys, Nicola Eimer and Leah Broad.

Maxim Vengerov and Polina Osetinskaya
For tonight’s recital we welcome Maxim Vengerov – who this year celebrates a remarkable 40-year performing career – and Polina Osetinskaya; their contrasted programme explores the intertwined worlds of Clara and Robert Schumann and Brahms and, in the second part, a 20th-century icon: Prokofiev.
