Winchester Festival: Alan Hacker – A Celebration
United Kingdom
Fitzwilliam String Quartet
Nicholas Bucknall, Lesley Schatzberger, William Sweeney, David Glenn, Ian
Michell
with Sophie Hacker and Katy Hacker Hughes
Mozart (completed by Duncan Druce) Clarinet Quintet in Bb K516c
William Sweeney An Og-Mhadainn (The Young Morning)
Purcell Dido’s Lament (from Dido and Aeneas)
Mozart (completed by Duncan Druce) Quintet movement In F K580b
Brahms Clarinet Quintet in B minor op 115
Grieg Death of Åse (from Peer Gynt) arranged by Alan Hacker
The programme will also include the first performance of a new piece by
Sir Harrison Birtwistle in memory of Alan.
Alan Hacker OBE (1938-2012), was a clarinettist and conductor with
unusually wide-ranging enthusiasms. He would have been celebrating his 80th
birthday on this day. Musical colleagues have come together to offer this
tribute to his life and work, through music that represents some of his
significant repertoire.
The clarinettists in this concert all studied with Alan and were
enormously influenced by his searching approach to performance. His partnership
with The Fitzwilliam Quartet began in 1974 and lasted for over 20 years during
which time they performed both the Mozart and Brahms quintets. Katy Hacker
Hughes and Sophie Hacker, Alan’s daughters, are participating in this concert as
a tribute to their father.
This is a fundraising concert for the charity Jessie’s Fund,
whose activities include music therapy in children’s hospitals and hospices
across the UK.
Tickets £25 and are available from the Cathedral Box office 01962
851465. For an additional £10, join the musicians for a glass of bubbly in
the Retroquire after the concert.
