  Christian Lindberg will be making a rare recital appearance at the RNCM in Manchester in January — snow permitting of course...

There is an early New Year's treat in store for brass fans at the RNCM in Manchester with the appearance of the Christian Lindberg for a recital concert.

Not only will you be able to hear the virtuoso trombonist in action, but he is also presenting all free 'Question & Answer' session before the performance on Tuesday 8th January.

Not to be missed

Speaking to 4BR, a spokesperson for the RNCM said that they were delighted to welcome back the artist for rare appearance — one that shouldn't be missed.

"Christian Linberg is remarkable performer — and we are delighted to welcome him back for what promises to be a superb recital.

He breaks down barriers as a musician, and so to be able to ask him about his work and the pieces he is playing will give the audience a rare insight into his artistic mind. It's not to be missed."

Specially curated

The specially curated programme will explore both romantic and contemporary pieces — including his own 'Black Hawk Eagle', whilst his exceptional partner accompanist of 40 years Roland Pontinen, will perform Rachmaninov and Liszt pieces as piano solos.

Programme:

Sonata 'Vox Gabrieli' (Stjepan Sulek)
Preludes Op 32 Nos 5, 6, 7 and 9 (Sergei Rachmaninov)
Solo for Sliding Trombone (John Cage)
Suite from Pique Dame (Tchaikovsky arr. Lindberg)
