February 24th Craig Ogden in Ashford St Mary’s Church 7:30pm.
Craig Ogden St. Mary’s Church, The Churchyard, Ashford Town Centre, TN23 1QG One of the great names of the classical guitar, Craig Ogden brings an exciting programme of solo classics and a few surprises – straight after his two chart-topping summers with Classic FM albums The Guitarist and Summertime. For Equator’s first classical event we are delighted to present Australian-born guitarist Craig Ogden, one of the most exciting artists of his generation. Among the UK’s most recorded guitarists, his recordings for Virgin/EMI, Chandos, Nimbus, Hyperion, Sony and Classic FM have received wide acclaim. Ogden’s Classic FM albums The Guitarist and Summertime both shot straight to no.1 in the UK classical chart in summer 2010 and 2011 respectively. Craig Ogden has performed concertos with all of the main UK orchestras plus many abroad in countries including Latvia, Russia, South Africa, Sweden and Australia. In season 2011/12 he returns to the Philharmonia Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra and Ulster Orchestra and will be playing with the WDR Rundfunk Orchestra in Köln the following season. Craig Ogden regularly appears as soloist and chamber musician at the major London venues and collaborates regularly with many of the UK’s top artists and ensembles. In 2008 Craig Ogden made his presenting debut on BBC Radio 3 in ‘The Segovia Legacy’ co-presented by Louis de Bernières and in 2011 Ogden also presented a series of interviews with artists including John Williams for ABC Classic FM (Australia). He studied guitar from the age of seven and percussion from the age of thirteen. In 2004 he became the youngest instrumentalist to have received a Fellowship Award from the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. He is currently Principal Lecturer in Guitar at the Royal Northern College and Visiting Lecturer at London’s Royal College of Music. In this concert there will be a special guest appearance by the Ashford Guitar Ensemble, following on from Craig’s afternoon master class at Ashford School with students drawn from several local schools. www.craigogden.com

She studied with him briefly in France before moving to London. Her debut in the Park Lane Group’s “Young Musicians and Twentieth Century Music” series on the South Bank was very warmly received, and she immediately joined the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, as Principal Flute. After seven years she left to give more time to solo and chamber music, having been launched as a winner in the ISM/Nat West Festival Days competition. As a recital soloist she has played frequently in major British venues, with live BBC recordings from St David’s Hall, Cardiff, the BBC Concert Hall and the Pump Room, Cheltenham. She has been heard in British festivals such as City of London, Three Choirs, Dartington, Newbury Spring Festival, Calstock, Budleigh Salterton, Salisbury International and Cheltenham International Festivals. Between Judith Hall and Craig Ogden there is a natural affinity which makes their performances together quite exceptional. They have performed in Britain and as far afield as the Bahamas. Their programmes are lively and intriguing, mixing better-known music with contemporary and exotic pieces. Australian-born guitarist Craig Ogden is one of the most exciting artists of his generation. He has performed concertos with orchestras including the London Symphony, London Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic, Hallé, BBC Philharmonic, City of Birmingham Symphony, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Bournemouth Symphony and Melbourne Symphony Orchestras. His debut solo recording of contemporary British works received wide acclaim and a Grammy nomination. His six Chandos releases of concertos and recital discs have received sparkling reviews from journals including Gramophone, BBC Music Magazine, Classic FM Magazine, American Record Guide and newspapers including The Guardian, Times, Daily Telegraph, Australian and the Scotsman. Craig Ogden performs as soloist and chamber musician all over the world. His most recent collaboration is with the American counter-tenor, David Daniels, with whom Ogden performed at the prestigious Tanglewood Festival and the Lincoln Center (New York). He is married to young British opera star Claire Bradshaw, and is also Senior Lecturer in Guitar at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester.
