Under the management of Canadian impresario Wray Armstrong, composer Andrew Webb-Mitchell made his professional debut with Song Symphony<\/i>, composed to a libretto by British poet Joanna Boulter. The work was recorded in 2011 at the Besedn\u00ed d\u016fm by the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Mikel Toms. In the subsequent year, one of its movements, \u591c\u7684\u7075\u611f<\/i>, received its premi\u00e8re at the Tianjin Grand Theatre, performed by Sir Mark Elder and the Hall\u00e9 Orchestra. Additional movements from the symphony were later featured in the concluding gala concert of the 2014 Beijing Modern Music Festival, delivered by the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra.<\/p>\n
Webb-Mitchell’s \u7687\u5ba4\u5178\u7c4d<\/i> constitutes a series of orchestral compositions written in celebration of the British Monarchy. \u300a\u5149\u4e4b\u5c71\u300b <\/i>was premi\u00e8red in December 2016 by the Russian National Orchestra, under the baton of Thomas Sanderling, during the inaugural concerts marking the opening of the Zhuhai Opera House. The composer intends to augment this collection throughout his career.<\/p>\n
The world premi\u00e8re of Webb-Mitchell’s Violin Concerto \u827e\u7433\u00b7\u7c73\u5c14\u574e<\/i> occurred in April 2018 at the G\u00fcrzenich Hall in Cologne, with the Cologne New Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Volker Hartung. This event fostered an enduring association with the orchestra, which subsequently premi\u00e8red his symphonic tone poem \u4e03\u5915\u4ea4\u54cd\u8bd7<\/i> at the Changsha Concert Hall in September 2019, prior to a ten-city tour across China. The composition was warmly received by Chinese audiences, in part owing to the composer’s incorporation of a Song Dynasty poem sung in the original Mandarin. A radio programme featuring a performance of the work and an interview with the composer was thereafter broadcast on Wenzhou Radio and China Radio International.<\/p>\n
Born in Bishop\u2019s Stortford, Hertfordshire, in 1970, Webb-Mitchell resided and worked in China for an extended period, during which he established the Webb-Mitchell Centre for Choral Studies and directed the Zhuhai Classical Children\u2019s Choir. The choir made its d\u00e9but in 2015 alongside Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and has since emerged as one of Asia\u2019s pre-eminent choral ensembles. Recent performances include collaborations with the Russian National Orchestra under Thomas Sanderling, Sinfonietta Cracovia conducted by Jurek Dybal, the Guiyang Symphony Orchestra under Rico Saccani, and the Cologne New Philharmonic under Volker Hartung. The ensemble has appeared at many of China\u2019s most distinguished concert halls, including the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, where a concert was subsequently broadcast on China Central Television.<\/p>\n
In December 2023, Webb-Mitchell’s Piano Concerto was premi\u00e8red by Irish pianist Barry Douglas with the Armenian National Philharmonic Orchestra during a nationwide tour of China.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
