Peter Sheppard Skaerved

UCF Presents

Peter has a world-wide reputation for innovative programmes, bringing together the most colourful range of music from today's composers with pioneers from the past. This concert will finish the day that Peter will have spent working with the student creative voices on UCF’s Music courses.

Playing on the great 1698 Stradivari once owned by Joseph Joachim who worked with Mendelssohn, Liszt, Brahms and Schumann, Peter will set Giuseppe Tartini's solo sonatas (written between 1750-1770) with works from 5 composers especially written for him. The Tartini will converse with wildlife through David Matthews’ work, the wood of the violin bow with Nigel Clarke’s, and the music of the past with work composed by Elizabeth Winters and Judith Bingham.

Peter will also perform Shibboleth written by Cornwall based Jim Aitchison who has worked with Peter for many years, and the two of them have collaborated on projects at Tate St Ives, Tate Modern, the Royal Academy of Arts, and with Anthony Gormley. Shibboleth was written in response to Doris Salcedo's sculpture of the same name, which split the Turbine Hall of Tate Modern in 2008.
