Overview
Alec Frank-Gemmill’s total mastery of his instrument has brought him signal success whether as concerto soloist, chamber musician or performing on the natural horn.
His lunchtime recital programme sets two totemic pieces from the classical horn repertoire alongside Sir James MacMillan’s Motet V and the world première of Serpents of Wisdom, a work written for him by John Casken.
