Grainger Festival at The Sage Gateshead
Nov 11, 2011The Sage Gateshead hosts a special Percy Grainger Festival this weekend. The festival spans three days and revisits some of the BBC Proms Grainger night with Northern Sinfonia and the Kathryn Tickell Band on Friday 11th November. Also some fascinating concerts such as Lincolnshire Posy, on Saturday 12th November, with songs collected by Grainger who dedicated his "bunch of wildflowers" to "the old folksingers who sang so sweetly to me." Kathryn's been working on this concert with the fabulous Folkestra who, with Mike Wilson (voice), Damien Barber (voice), Emily Portman (voice), David Murray (piano) and Eileen Bown (piano), promise a memorable evening.
