ABOUT CITY MUSIC FOUNDATION

CMF’s mission is ‘turning talent into success’. We select exceptional professional musicians at the start of their careers when managing ‘the business of music’ can be a challenge and support them with a comprehensive career development programme. We arrange mentoring, run workshops, do agency and management, make CDs, videos and websites, commission new music, secure airtime on BBC Radio 3 and promotion though online, print and social media, as well as showcasing our artists in our own recitals and concerts. CMF Alumni tell us of the many ways CMF has helped them during those very fragile early stages of their professional careers. Getting the necessary visibility, developing networks, gaining recognition in the industry, and having recordings – all this has allowed them to secure their careers as performers. Our aim is that CMF Artists are ready for four decades or more of contributing to society’s culture and well-being – reaching hundreds of thousands through live performance, CDs, streaming, broadcasts, teaching and mentoring – giving back a thousandfold what CMF has given them.

We’re delighted to be welcoming City Music Foundation back to The Wallace Collection for its 4th annual Summer Residency. Featuring six CMF Artists, 2019 sees the residency expanded beyond the popular free lunchtime recitals to include a children’s concert, a performance for dementia sufferers, and an evening concert centred around Schubert’s ‘Trout Quintet’ with guest performer, pianist Sholto Kynoch. All performances will take place in the Great Gallery.


British cellist Ariana Kashefi is in high demand as a soloist and chamber musician having performed at venues including Wigmore Hall, Pierre Boulez Saal, Berlin Philharmonie, Royal Albert Hall, Southbank Centre, and more.

She was a prize winner at the 2018 International Anton Rubinstein Competition for Cello, a finalist at the 2018 Pierre Fournier Award, and she is the recipient of a Making Music Award for Young Concert Artists.

Thanks to the Royal Philharmonic Society’s ‘Julius Isserlis Scholarship’ for instrumental studies abroad, Ariana recently completed her formal studies in Berlin, where she attended the Hochschule für Musik ‘Hanns Eisler’ (studying with Professor Claudio Bohorquez), followed by the Barenboim-Said Academy (studying with Professor Frans Helmerson). She previously studied at the Royal College of Music, where she was named a ‘RCM Rising Star’. Over the years Ariana has also received invaluable guidance from Steven Isserlis, David Geringas, Ralph Kirshbaum, and Gary Hoffman.

Recent engagements include performances in Berlin, Bern, and Munich, and in the upcoming season Ariana will give recitals at Pushkin House, LSE, and St Mary’s Perivale, as well as concertos with the Janus Ensemble and the Bristol Metropolitan Orchestra.

Ariana Kashefi joined the CMF Artist Programme in September 2018.

TUESDAY 23 JULY 1PMLUNCHTIME RECITAL: TOM MILLAR (JAZZ PIANO)

With thanks to Barnett Waddingham for supporting today’s concert.

Tom Millar is a London-based pianist, composer, and bandleader.

His debut album, Unnatural Events performed by the Tom Millar Quartet, was launched in September 2017 at PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho) and was followed by a 20-date UK tour supported by Arts Council England. Released on independent jazz label Spark!, it was recorded with funding from an Emerging Excellence Award (Help Musicians UK), the Jazz Services’ Recording Support Scheme, and a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. The Quartet plays Tom’s original music, which is inspired by places and people that are important to him. Tracks include the soulful ballad ‘Park Hill’; his setting of the proto-environmentalist poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins, ‘Inversnaid’; and rock-out grooves in ‘The Seafarer’, ‘Power Chord Thing’, and ‘Woad’. The Quartet features some of the most in-demand young jazz musicians in London: Misha Mullov-Abbado on bass, Alex Munk on guitar, and Dave Storey on drums.

As a bandleader, Tom has performed at venues such as Wigmore Hall, PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho), Vortex, 606 Club, KKL Lucerne, and the Paul Klee Centre (Switzerland), as well as at the EFG London Jazz Festival.

As a sidesman, Tom has toured England and Wales: with the Lyric Ensemble performing the music of Michael Garrick; with Ollie Howell’s quintet; with Duncan Eagles’s quartet; and he has recorded albums with the Tom Smith Septet and the Andrew Linham Big Band. Further afield, Tom has played in the USA, Europe, and Qatar, including: a nationwide tour with Swiss blues star Philipp Fankhauser and venerable singer Margie Evans; a gig in the opening residency at Quincy

Jones’s first ever jazz club, Q’s Bar & Lounge (Dubai); and a gig with bassist Lisa Hoppe’s Ambush at the Jazzwerkstatt Festival, Bern.

Tom previously ran a monthly jazz series at the Green Note, Camden, as well as playing a monthly duo concert there with some of his favourite singers. He was also a member of Way Out West musicians’ collective, for which he created various different projects including a quintet with Gareth Lockrane and Fini Bearman, and a nonet playing his own compositions and arrangements with Jim Hart, Tim Whitehead, Tony Woods, and Laura Jurd, among others.

After reading Music at King’s College, Cambridge, Tom studied Jazz Piano and Composition at the Royal Academy of Music, followed by two years with Django Bates in Bern (Switzerland).

Tom Millar joined the CMF Artist Programme in September 2018.

PROGRAMMETo be announced on the day


Toby Hughes is one of the UK’s leading double bass soloists. A true virtuoso, Toby has exceeded the perceived limitations of his instrument by being the first double bassist to win the Bromsgrove International Music Competition, the Royal Over-Seas League string section final, and the Tunbridge Wells International Young Concert Artists competition.

He has performed with major international orchestras, both in Europe and the UK, and in recital he has appeared at Wigmore Hall, Edinburgh International Festival, and Queen Elizabeth Hall. He also plays regularly with the renowned 12 Ensemble.

Recent engagements include recitals at St Martin in the Fields, Wiltshire Music Centre, and Champs Hill, as well as a concerto with the Chandos Symphony Orchestra.

In 2009, at the age of sixteen, Toby was invited to study at the combined universities of Lausanne, Fribourg and Sion with Professor Božo Paradžik, continuing to study there with the support of a Julius Isserlis Scholarship, awarded by the Royal Philharmonic Society, and a Future Talent Coombs Scholarship, presented by the Duchess of Kent. He has also studied in Berlin with Matthew McDonald (principal of the Berlin Philharmonic) and at the Royal Northern College of Music, graduating from the International Diploma Course.

In addition to his numerous scholarships and competition wins, Toby has been supported by The Tillett Trust, The Musicians’ Company, and The Philip and Dorothy Green Artists Award.

Toby Hughes joined the CMF Artist Programme in September 2018.

Acclaimed for her musical interpretation, presence and “warmly distinctive tone” (The Telegraph), Helen Charlston has quickly cemented herself as a key performer in the next generation of British singers.

Helen won First Prize in the 2018 Handel Singing Competition and she is a Rising Star of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment (OAE) for 2017-19. Recent concert highlights include a number of high-profile London performances: Telemann Ihr Völker hört with Florilegium at Wigmore Hall (also broadcast on BBC Radio 3), Schoenberg Lied der Waldtaube at Cadogan Hall, and Handel Jephtha at the London Festival of Baroque Music (St John’s Smith Square).

Further afield, solo roles include Bach St Matthew Passion at Grand Théâtre de Provence as part of the Aix-en-Provence Festival de Pâques (Gabrieli Consort and Players/Paul McCreesh); a worldwide tour of Handel Messiah with the Seattle Symphony, Western Australian Symphony Orchestra, and Adelaide Symphony Orchestra; Bach Magnificat in D (Auckland Symphony Orchestra/Stephen Layton); Mozart Requiem at the Three Choirs Festival (Philharmonia Orchestra/Simon Halsey); Duruflé Requiem in Frankfurt Cathedral; and Handel Dixit Dominus at the Eliat Chamber Music Festival, Israel (Gabrieli Consort and Players/Paul McCreesh).

Helen’s recordings include Bach B Minor Mass with the OAE and Bach Cantatas 106 & 182 with Amici Voices, both on the Hyperion label.

Born in Hertfordshire, Helen began singing as a chorister at St Albans Abbey before taking up a choral scholarship at Trinity College, Cambridge, where she read music and was a scholar on the Pembroke College Lieder Scheme.

A4 Brass Quartet is comprised of principal players from some of the UK’s top brass bands including Grimethorpe Colliery, Brighouse & Rastrick, and Foden’s. With “technical virtuosity in abundance” (Brass Band World), these four astonishing musicians come together to perform both lyrical and high-octane works, forging a distinctive and new take on chamber music.

The Quartet has a unique blend of instruments – cornet, tenor horn, baritone horn, and euphonium – creating an exclusive sound that stands out from the standard brass quartet. For this unusual instrumentation, A4 Brass has actively developed their own repertoire, commissioning new music as well as composing and arranging themselves.

The Quartet has performed widely throughout the UK and Europe appearing at major venues and festivals including Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room, Bridgewater Hall, Lake District Summer Music, Ceresio Estate Festival (Switzerland), and Lieksa Brass Week (Finland).

The Quartet has won numerous prizes and awards, including the 2018 Royal Over-Seas League Chamber Music Competition, and they are Yeomen of The Musicians’ Company. They work regularly with Live Music Now and Music in Hospitals and are committed to expanding and diversifying their work.

Formed in 2013 while studying at the Royal Northern College of Music, the Quartet won the coveted Philip Jones Brass Ensemble of the Year prize in their first year, and went on to win the Christopher Rowland Ensemble of the Year Award, claiming both the jury and the audience votes. The Quartet recently completed the RNCM’s International Artist Diploma in Chamber Music course as John Fewkes Scholars.

A4 Brass Quartet joined the CMF Artist Programme in September 2018.
