Matthew Barley, cello

britten - bryars - tavener

Matthew Barley further proves his reputation as one of the UK's most innovative and creative performers with a new programme and CD ‘Around Britten’ – celebrating the centenary of Britten’s birth with a selection of his works, including the Third Cello Suite and pieces by Sir John Tavener and Gavin Bryars. The release coincides with the start of a tour of 100 events taking Britten's music to a kaleidoscopic variety of venues around the UK, reaching a huge cross section of British society. As well as concerts in conventional concert halls, Matthew will play in galleries, a cafe, a woodland in Devon, a number of cathedrals (including Canterbury), around 12 different National Trust properties and Britten's library at the Red House in Aldeburgh. The events will be featured across the year in BBC Music Magazine, and one concert will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3. “I wish more people would think about music the way Matthew Barley does” the times
