THE next Weymouth Lunchtime Chamber Music Concert is on Wednesday and features one of the world’s great trumpet soloists.
Crispian Steele-Perkins will perform at St Mary’s Church in Weymouth from 1pm alongside Weymouth opera singer Sophia Grech and pianist Leslie Pearson.
Crispian began playing the trumpet at the age of 10 and after training at the Guildhall School of Music in London, he became a member of the Sadlers Wells Opera, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the English Chamber Orchestra.
As a soloist Crispian’s purity of tone and artistic subtlety have received widespread critical acclaim.
In the world of film, Crispian’s playing can be heard on more than 80 classic scores such as Jaws, Gandhi, Star Wars – Episode IV, Batman, Monty Python’s Life of Brian, Lord of the Rings – The Two Towers and no less than six films from the James Bond series.
Whilst his numerous solo recordings extend from Handel to Glenn Miller, he has featured as a concert soloist in London at the Royal Albert Hall, New York’s Carnegie Hall, Boston’s Sym-phony Hall, the Sydney Opera House and Tokyo’s Suntory Hall.
Entry to the concert is £4.
