ANDREW CHADWICK'S MUSIC ( more soon)
Collaborations
Especially during lockdown, I have had the good fortune of two fruitful composing collaborations and subsequently enjoyed restarting public performances. Links below take you to some of the output from these.
MachellMusic
A valued and fruitful collaboration with the well-established composer/performer David Machell as soloist even acting as Joachim to his Brahms...
Here is his own web site MachellMusic
and a link to our performance of his sonata for viola and piano on Wordsworth's ode 'Autumn'.
CoMA and 'Listening Grounds'
CoMA groups in the East Midlands and Sheffield have been great performing colleagues often willing to try out the new music - see the Compositions Page
Bramley House Trio
A few of my arrangements have been for the Bramley House Trio - Katharine Dryden (mezzo-soprano), David Machell and myself on a fiddle...
​
We've performed widely around the East Midlands and South Yorkshire, with our favourite being the two songs for Alto, Viola and Piano by Brahms (here is one of our favourite recordings)
Southwell String Quartet
The Southwell String Quartet - David Wood and Catharine Lester violins, Margaret Chadwick on 'cello and myself on viola - have performed several of my arrangements as part of eclectic programmes often associated with Southwell Minster or the Southwell Music Festival
While I haven't yet written anything for larger ensembles, much of my experience of music comes from playing in good amateur orchestras, where I have made many friends and encountered plenty of challenging repertoire.
​
Particular highlights have been the Bartok Concerto for Orchestra with Nottingham Philharmonic Orchestra and Tippett's Fantasia Concertante on a theme by Corelli, with the Helix Ensemble
