Christ Church Cathedral Simon Mawhinney was born in Co. Down, Northern Ireland and was educated at the universities of Oxford, York and Queen’s, Belfast, where he was appointed Lecturer in Music in June 2006. His compositions have been performed throughout the world by an international range of leading performers and ensembles and have received a wide range of awards and prizes, including the Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize. Piano performance forms an integral part of Mawhinney’s work. Described by the Irish Times as an ‘ardent’ performer, he has a wide repertoire ranging from Bach to Boulez, giving performances which have received critical acclaim throughout Europe. A review of a recent all-Chopin recital described the performance as ‘weighty, intellectual, hard-edged and exhilarating.’ He has had a lifelong interest in Messiaen and the Festival is delighted to present the first of several complete performances of Vingt regards he will give in Messiaen’s centenary year. |
