Lawrence Power
Internationally acclaimed viola player Lawrence Power is widely praised for his richness of sound, technical mastery and passionate advocacy for new music. Heralded by The New York Times as ‘a musician on a mission to make us pay attention to the viola’, Lawrence has advanced the cause of the viola both through the excellence of his performances, whether in recitals, chamber music or concertos, and through the creation of the Viola Commissioning Circle (VCC), which has led to a substantial body of fresh repertoire. Lawrence has premiered concertos by leading composers such as James MacMillan, Mark-Anthony Turnage, Julian Anderson and Alexander Goehr, and through the VCC has commissioned works by Anders Hillborg, Thomas Adès, Gerald Barry, Cassandra Miller and Magnus Lindberg.
Lawrence opened the season with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra (Nicholas Collon), performing Berlioz’s Harold in Italy, and appeared again under Collon’s baton alongside violinist Vilde Frang in Britten’s Double Concerto with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. He will give the world premiere of the Wigglesworth Viola Concerto at the Aldeburgh Festival under the composer’s baton, commissioned through the VCC. Concerto highlights include performances of the critically acclaimed Magnus Lindberg Viola Concerto with the Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona (Matthias Pintscher), the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra (Ryan Bancroft) and the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra (Adam Hickox), as well as play-directing the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
Further engagements include performances of Cassandra Miller’s I cannot love without trembling with the BBC Philharmonic (Ludovic Morlot) and the Montréal Symphony Orchestra (Elim Chan), Bacewicz’s Viola Concerto with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester (James Gaffigan), and a three-week play-directing tour with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, including the world premiere of Garth Knox’s Viola Concerto.
