Event information

The concert is a celebration of solo repertoire for the oboe, and its deeper and more sonorous relations the Oboe d’Amore and the Cor Anglais. Rarely put together in a single recital, the instruments first get to display their particular individual qualities in works by CPE Bach, Benjamin Britten, John Rushby-Smith and Vincent Persichetti, after which they join forces in possibly one of the most exciting works ever written for solo oboe: “Solo” by the Italian composer Bruno Maderna.

Liesbeth Allart is a freelance oboist enjoying a varied career. Based in the UK, and with family ties in the Netherlands and Ireland, she has played with orchestras and ensembles throughout Europe, including the BBC Concert Orchestra, RTÉ Concert Orchestra, and the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra. As a keen interpreter of contemporary music, Liesbeth has taken part in the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival and is a regular guest with the Insomnio Ensemble in the Netherlands.
For ten years she was the oboist and Artistic Director of De Bezetting Speelt, a chamber group in the Netherlands, which she recently said farewell to in order to focus on devising a couple of exciting future projects in the UK.
Liesbeth has a great interest in theatre, and was involved in performing the music in a number of productions at the National Theatre and in the West End.
