ome months ago New Yorkers enjoyed an opportunity to hear a gifted young American pianist, Thomas Nickell play Mozart's Concerto in A Major, K. 414 and a new concerto by a living English composer, David Matthews, supported by a splendid chamber orchestra in the best English tradition, The Orchestra of the Swan, based in Stratford-upon-Avon, conducted by its founder, David Curtis. They received an especially warm response from their sold-out hall, and they have every reason to come back. This will occur in early June 2018. Meanwhile you can listen to David Curtis talk about chamber orchestras, The Orchestra of the Swan in particular, and English music, which, I believe has been rather neglected on these shores in recent years. The post David Curtis, Music Director of the Orchestra of the Swan, talks to Michael Miller appeared first on New York Arts.

Thomas just made his Carnegie Hall debut with the North American premiere of David Matthews' Piano Concerto, op. 11 with the UK-based Orchestra of the Swan. We talked about non-classical influences, the prodigy label, and other such things. Enjoy! Check out more about Thomas: thomasnickell.com Support the podcast: patreon.com/divergentpathspod
