Falling Leaves and Fading Light evokes the irresistible glow of autumn, featuring the warm resonance of strings and the intimate thrill of classical guitar. From the vivid colours of Vivaldi’s Autumn and the spirited charm of Mozart’s Hunt Quartet to the reflective grace of Holst, Bridge, Tchaikovsky, and Bach, this concert invites you to slow down and savour the season of change. Reimagined folk melodies, the elegance of Boccherini, a cinematic touch from Yann Tiersen, and the West Coast lyricism of Fleetwood Mac complete a journey that leaves you inspired and ready for the coming winter.
The Harborough Collective, directed by David Le Page, is joined by locally based, highly acclaimed guitarist Mark Ashford. Mark, who heralds from Northampton, is winner of a plethora of competitions including Radio 2’s Young Musician, the Scandinavian International Guitar Competition and the Julian Bream Prize, and has appeared as a soloist with orchestras such as the BBC Concert Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic and the Turin Symphony Orchestra. His career has taken him to audiences worldwide both as a soloist and with the VIDA Guitar Quartet. We are very excited that Mark is joining up with the Collective once again for this beautiful concert.
