Thomas Adès Forgotten Dances
Sean Shibe has established himself as one of the finest musicians of his generation. This season sees him premiere new concertos by Cassandra Miller and Oliver Leith, as well as touring 'Forgotten Dances', Thomas Adès’s first work for a non-keyboard solo instrument. In addition to gaining great acclaim for his recordings of Dowland, Bach and traditional repertoire, he continues to prove himself a truly original mind at the frontier of contemporary classical music.
In addition to Adès, Sean will perform an eclectic mix of beautiful and haunting repertoire. A highly decorated musician, he is a former BBC New Generation Artist, Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship 2012 winner, Royal Philharmonic Society 2018 Young Artist Award winner and a recipient of the 2022 Leonard Bernstein Award. He is a 2023/2024 ECHO Rising Star.
