Anna Tilbrook (piano)
Anna has been a regular artist at all the major concert halls and festivals since her debut at the Wigmore Hall in 1999 and frequently broadcasts for Radio 3. She has collaborated with many leading singers and instrumentalists, and has also accompanied José Carreras, Angela Gheorghiu and Bryn Terfel in televised concerts. Recent performances include at Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Carnegie Hall New York, Wigmore Hall, and St John’s Smith Square; appearances at the Edinburgh, Aldeburgh, and Cheltenham festivals; and curating a number of series of concerts for the BBC. In 2022 Anna and James Gilchrist celebrated 25 years as a duo partnership. They have made a series of acclaimed recordings of English songs for Linn and Chandos, the songs and chamber music of Vaughan Williams with Philip Dukes, “Solitude”, and most recently a disc of songs by Roger Quilter.
James Gilchrist (tenor)
Tenor James Gilchrist began his working life as a doctor, turning to a full-time music career in 1996. His extensive concert repertoire has seen him perform in major concert halls throughout the world with renowned conductors including Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Sir Roger Norrington, and Richard Hickox.
A master of English music, he has performed Britten’s Church Parables in St Petersburg, in London and at the Aldeburgh Festival; Nocturne with the NHK Symphony in Tokyo; and War Requiem with the San Francisco Symphony and the National Youth Orchestra of Germany.
Bach’s Christmas Oratorio and the St John and St Matthew Passion feature prominently in James’ schedule, and he is celebrated as perhaps the finest Evangelist of his generation; as one review noted, “he hasn’t become a one-man Evangelist industry by chance”. Highlights of the 2023-24 season include Bach’s Mass in B Minor with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Richard Egarr, Mozart’s Requiem with the Royal Northern Sinfonia, and Bach’s Christmas Oratorio on tour in Austria with L’Orfeo Barockorchester. Next season, James reprises of the role of Rev. Horace Adams in Deborah Warner’s acclaimed production of Britten’s Peter Grimes in his house debut at the Opera di Roma.
