About this event

Evocative Solo Violin Recital

Internationally acclaimed violinist Philippa Mo makes her first visit to Calstock.

“Come along to explore the limits of the solo violin and violinist alike…faultless technique and unfailing insight.” Gramophone Magazine

Philippa studied at the Royal Academy of Music and at the Central Conservatory of Music, Beijing. She now performs extensively as a chamber musician and has given performances and live broadcasts worldwide, including her acclaimed debut at the Wigmore Hall, the Ankara International Music festival and the Lincoln Center, New York. Recent solo tours have taken her as far afield as Australia, Brazil and China. In 2020, Philippa won the Future Classic Women Awards held by the Women’s Radio Station.

She begins her programme with joyous Bach and Telemann displaying the shine and sprightly sparkle of the violin. The Red Violin Caprices by John Corigliano evoke Baroque, Gypsy, and High Romantic idioms and she chooses two birdsong inspired pieces by the brilliant British based composers Wendy Hiscocks and
Errollyn Wallen. The programme closes with the sheer power and ironic drive of Prokofiev’s Sonata for solo violin.

“Philippa Mo has a lovely warm sound in the lower register that can turn remarkably dark; she possesses a silky-smooth legato.” Musicweb International
