Douglas Hollick 75th Celebration Concert Cambridge | Trinity College Chapel, Cambridge

Details

A concert to celebrate the 75th birthday of Douglas Hollick, and his long life in early music, as performer, teacher, instrument maker and scholar. Douglas Hollick is known as an expert in the world of early keyboard instruments as performer, teacher, and instrument maker. The programme will reflect his involvement with choral music, and the programme will start and end with choral works by Charles Wood and Stanford that link back to Douglas’s teenage and university years as singer and choir director. Two of his current Cambridge students will be performing, Augustine Cox, organ scholar at Trinity, and Evie perfect, organ scholar at Clare. One of his last students at the end of 15 years teaching at the Birmingham Conservatoire, Ying Yue, will be playing piano music by Beethoven and Debussy. For his instrument making, Douglas is bringing his 1989 copy of the 1643 Ruckers Muselar Virginal, on which he will play Buxtehude. He will play music by Jacques Duphly on the resident Rubio harpsichord, Duphly in the mid 18th century having taught the young Viscount Fitzwilliam, the founder of the Fitzwilliam Museum here in Cambridge. Douglas will also play some Bach on the Metzler organ, on which he has recorded four CDs. The concert is by kind permission of the Master and Fellows of Trinity College. This event is free to attend but we ask people to consider giving a donation. All proceeds from this concert will go to support Maggies Cambridge. Information Source: Maggie's | eventbrite
