CONCERTO DEBUT PRIZE
Each year as part of the Senior Awards auditions process the Trustees of the Hattori Foundation consider whether from the applicants there is a musician ready to benefit from the challenge and professional exposure of a performance with a leading orchestra and if so we seek to create an opportunity for that performance to happen.

2017 prize winner
Oliver Wass harp20 November 2018
BEDFORD: YOUTH & BEAUTY Philharmonia Orchestra with Zsolt-Tihamér Visontay conductor Oliver Wass harp Bedford Corn Exchange, Bedford ALWYN Lyra Angelica HAYDN Symphony No. 64 SCHUBERT Symphony No. 3 The harp takes centre stage in English composer William Alwyn's magical concerto, Lyra Angelica (Angels' Songs), performed by award-winning harpist Oliver Wass. At the heart of the concert there is the opportunity to hear Haydn's Symphony No. 64: between the shifting moods of the exhilarating opening movement and the mercurial finale comes an expansive Largo exuding a sense of timelessness, and a stately Minuet and Trio. Haydn's influence can then be heard in Schubert's Symphony No. 3, written when he was just 18 and brimming with youthful vitality and invention. |
