In conversation with Paul McCreesh

In the run up to our Summer Festival 2012, we sat down with the director of our Associate Artists Gabrieli Consort & Players, Paul McCreesh to talk about their series of concerts. Touching on all areas of their work, they will be performing a Purcell opera, Stravinsky's Mass setting and an a cappella programme of English pastoralism as well as a very special concert for young ears. For more information about Gabrieli Consort & Players's Associate Artist series, and to book tickets, see our website: http://spitalfieldsmusic.org.uk/

Spitalfields Music interviews Associate Artist Matthew Barley

Ahead of our Summer Festival, we sat down with Associate Artist and cellist Matthew Barley. We asked him more about his series on concerts, which includes some of this Festival's more unusual events. He'll be playing chamber pieces without any rehearsal, and exploring what music's actually for, as well as performing John Tavener's The Protecting Veil and spending a day on the wards at the new Royal London Hospital.
