Fight or flight? Violinists on tackling The Lark Ascending

Kevin W Ng, 5th October

Often dismissed on account of its popularity, The Lark Ascending divides audiences... and players. Our own Kevin Ng is a violinist and avoided it for years, but took advice from three violinists when adding it to his repertoire.

The Orchestra of Opera North sounds fresh and new in Leeds University's Great Hall

Richard Wilcocks, 19th December

Leeds is so lucky to have virtuoso violinist David Greed still within reach, ready and available to perform as a soloist at concerts like this with the excellent orchestra of which he was the youngest leader in the country when it was formed in 1978. It was really thrilling to experience The Lark Ascending live, and to see him standing there just a few feet in front of the audience.
