Mike Hatchard is honoured to be appearing alongside one of the UK's Top Classical Pianists in a show that promises to be unique (as all Mike's Shows are).

Margaret Fingerhut was born in London of Ukrainian and Polish ancestry. Described by Gramophone as a pianist of “consummate skill and thrilling conviction”, her distinguished career has taken her to many countries. She is particularly known for her innovative recital programmes in which she explores the highways and byways of the piano repertoire. As a concerto soloist she has appeared with all the major orchestras in the UK, collaborating with eminent conductors such as Rudolf Barshai, Paul Daniel, Sir Edward Downes, Sir Charles Groves, Vernon Handley, Leonard Slatkin and John Williams in major venues such as the Royal Festival Hall, Royal Albert Hall and the Barbican. She is often heard on BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM and many radio stations worldwide, and her film and television work has included an appearance in Testimony, Tony Palmer’s film about Shostakovich.

​

Her extensive discography on the Chandos label has received much critical acclaim and won many accolades. Her recordings reflect her long-standing fascination with exploring lesser-known repertoire, including works by Bax, Berkeley, Bloch, Dukas, Falla, Finzi, Grieg, Howells, Leighton, Novák, Stanford and Suk as well as several pioneering collections of 19th century Russian and early 20th century French piano music. She was the soloist in the première recording of Elgar's sketches for his Piano Concerto slow movement, arranged by Percy Young. Other première recordings of British repertoire include Edgar Bainton's Concerto Fantasia, Bax's Octet and works by Howells, Leighton, Malcolm Arnold, Lennox Berkeley and Michael Berkeley. “Margaret Fingerhut deserves our most heartfelt admiration for her championship of the byways of the British repertoire twentieth century piano repertory.” (MusicWeb International). Margaret also made the first recording of a rediscovered student piece by Rachmaninoff, as well as two solo piano pieces by Sergey Taneyev.

'The music breathes under other horizons: Hispanic, Latin American, Middle Eastern. With sometimes melancholy accents that often resolve themselves into intense pulsations, towards a lyricism that is as torn as it is heartbreaking' Xavier Prevost 

​

'Of course Watts is an absolutely amazing player and his saxophone improvisations sound as good as they did half a Century earlier' Adam Baruch 

​

'The listener becomes bewitched by the melodic invention, the rhythmic fascination, the free shifts of Trevor Watts and the authentic lyricism that their music gives off' JM Van Schouwberg

'Riveting, eye/opening' Hollywood Reporter 

Award-winning director Fatih Akin takes us on a journey through Istanbul, Turkey, the city that bridges Europe and Asia. It features German musician Alexander Hacke (member of Einstürzende Neubauten) as the narrator. Hacke and Akın travelled around Istanbul with a mobile recording studio and a microphone, assembling an inspired portrait of Turkish music — from classical music to indie rock and rap. The film examines diverse music performed by the denizens of Istanbul. Rap, experimental music, street music and other forms bring the city alive with rich sounds, including performances by musician Orhan Gencebay and singer Sezen Aksu.

The film tells the story of the English composer, folk song collector and country dancer George Butterworth, who was killed during the Battle of the Somme aged just 31. 

​

George Butterworth was a leading member of a radical group of composers in the Edwardian years whose music was profoundly influenced by the traditional music of the English rural working class. On his death Butterworth left behind a glowing reputation and a handful of exceptional musical compositions, including such still-popular works as 'The Banks of Green Willow' and 'Rhapsody, 'A Shropshire Lad'' and impressive personal collection of over 300 English folk songs, tunes and dances. 

Now, over a century on and for the first time in a documentary film, with a treasure trove of never-before-seen archival material, evocative new footage, and using the testimony of his contemporaries, expert commentators and with music by a host of talented singers and musicians, it is time to tell George Butterworth's story, listen to his music afresh and reconsider his brief but remarkable life.

With rage in his heart and the future of the Empire at stake, Lucius must look to his past to find strength and honour to return the glory of Rome to its people.
