The Linden Ensemble

The Linden Ensemble play the Multi-Faith Centre on Sunday 15 November, a concert presented by the Derby Chamber Music Society. It's a chamber group of three: clarinet, piano and soprano, and the three performers are Sarah Williamson, Ashley Fripp and Susan Parkes.

They've all worked on their own across the classical world, and this is them coming together in one room. Sarah Williamson made her name in 2002 after the BBC Young Musician Competition and the Eurovision Competition for Young Musicians. Ashley Fripp has played as a recitalist, concerto soloist and chamber musician in halls like Carnegie Hall, the Musikverein in Vienna and London's Wigmore Halls, and has won prizes at more than a dozen national and international competitions, including the Guildhall School of Music & Drama Gold Medal. Susan Parkes is an award-winning opera singer who held scholarships at the Royal College of Music and the National Opera Studio, made her BBC Proms solo debut singing Karl Jenkins' Armed Man, and reached number one in the classical charts with Virgin Records.

The concert is held in the memory of Harold Butterton, a former committee member and longstanding supporter of the Derby Chamber Music Society. The Society itself is a volunteer-run organisation that's been promoting chamber music in the city since the late 1990s, so this is one of their regulars.

Doors open at 3:30pm and the music starts at 4:00pm at the Multi-Faith Centre, University of Derby, Kedleston Road, Derby DE22 1GB. Tickets are £20 with a £2 booking fee, concessions £19 (£1.90 booking fee), and students over 18 or the unwaged £8 (£0.80 booking fee). School students go free with a paying adult.
