Event information
An Organ and Trumpet Spectacular featuring Ian Tracey on organ and Crispian Steele-Perkins on trumpet.
Ian Tracey studied the organ under the then Organist of Liverpool Cathedral, Noel Rawsthorne. He subsequently continued his studies at Trinity College, London, before gaining further experience in Paris under André Isoir and Jean Langlais. In 1980, he succeeded Noel Rawsthorne and, in doing so, became the youngest cathedral organist in the United Kingdom at that time. He was later appointed Master of the Choristers, in addition to Organist, at Liverpool Cathedral.
Since 2008, his position at Liverpool Cathedral has been Organist Titulaire; a role that gives him overall responsibility for the organs and recitals there, whilst affording him time for teaching, recording, writing and lecturing.
In addition to his Cathedral duties, Ian Tracey is also Organist to the City of Liverpool at St. George’s Hall, Chorus Master to the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Society, Guest Music Director for the BBC's Daily Service, Professor, Fellow and Organist at Liverpool John Moores University and a past President of the Incorporated Association of Organists. Since 2011, he has been Tonal Director for Makin Organs & Copeman Hart.
Crispian Steele-Perkins is one of the world's best known trumpet soloists, renowned for the quality of his performances and his wide-ranging musical experience. He began playing the trumpet at the age of 10 and, after training at the Guildhall School of Music in London, became a member of the English National 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 for more than four decades. On 10th October 2015 the BBC's CD Review concluded that, of all the available recordings of Haydn's famous Trumpet Concerto worldwide, his is 'the one to have'.
