Tuesday 5th November 2024, 1.30pm – 2.30pm, Middlesbrough Town Hall, Free
In the first concert of our 2024-25 series, musicians Sarah Paterson and Jeremy Harbottle present a musical journey: from sadness, joy, and excitement, through to relaxation and peace.
Jeremy (cello) and Sarah (harp) will perform a 50 minute interactive concert exploring moods in music. This concert will support the following areas of the Model Music Curriculum:
– Musicianship: singing in unison, performing actions alongside song and moving in time to the beat
– Listening: a live performance of music from different traditions and composers, learning about the instruments as well as the stories, origins, history and social context of the music
This event is open to school groups and home educating families and has been designed with KS2 children in mind, although is suitable for all primary aged children.
About Jeremy
At the age of 14, Jeremy attained grade 8 piano and cello, and has won local young musician awards. He then undertook a diploma in piano, gaining a scholarship to study cello with the Royal College of Music (alongside a chemistry degree at Imperial College London!). Now, he teaches cello, piano and singing, is principal cellist of local orchestras, and performs around the UK – including playing many of the major cello concertos as soloist. He has conducted numerous choral symphonic works as musical director of four choirs for over fifteen years.
About Sarah
Sarah graduated from the Royal Northern College of Music with a Bachelor of Music (Honours). During her time there she was selected for the BBC Philharmonic Professional Experience Scheme, awarded the Dianne Bolton Prize, and performed at the Natural History Museum, Wigmore Hall and the Baltic Art Gallery.
