Classical Music Concert

Following an explosive start to the season, with Thomas Gould and Amore's stunning performances in April, Limelight is delighted to welcome back one of its favourite veteran artists on Wednesday, 26th June: the inimitable Charlie Siem.
Siem, who performed at Limelight's second ever concert back in 2009, is returning to the 100 Club stage by popular demand. Passionate and fiery, the youngster's unique combination of musical talent and sartorial elegance has propelled him into the spotlight across the world - and we are extremely lucky he has found room in his busy schedule to perform for us again.

"One of the most exciting young violin talents around."
-- Classic FM magazine, on Charlie Siem --

Siem will be supported by pianist Chris Hopkins, a rising star whose performance with Gould in April received a rapturous response, and feisty rock string quartet Raven, the resident "s**t hot" group on the BBC's former hit show Maestro (in the words of comedian Sue Perkins).

Programme includes...

Charlie Siem ::
Brahms; Violin Sonata No. 3 in D minor
Hubay; Carmen Fantasy

Chris Hopkins ::
Mozart; Piano Sonata No. 8 in A minor (1st movement)
Liszt; Sonetto 123 del Petrarca
Copland; Piano Variations
"Limelight avoids the tedium of a restaurant, the horror
of a ‘gig’ and the pole-up-your-arse stiffness of most classical venues, and provides something
genuinely original, fun and really rather classy."
-- Giles Coren, The Times --
