Accordion
Described as ‘versatile, full of charisma,
characterized by extraordinary care for
sound quality’ – The Observer, the
accordionist Bartosz Glowacki certainly
shows the qualities of a rising star. He
has performed as a soloist in prestigious
concert halls including the Wigmore
Hall, the Royal Festival Hall, the
Barbican, the Royal Albert Hall, La
Salle Cortot and the Witold Lutoslawski
Concert Studio of Polish Radio. City
Music Foundation Artist, Bartosz has
released this year his debut album
“Genesis” featuring solo accordion
works and double concerto with British
jazz guitarist Rob Luft. This album has
been praised by the critics as
“fascinating tour through the
centuries” – Musicweb-International,
“absolute must” – Adam Baruch and
“showcase of some terrific playing and
fine contemporary writing for the
instrument” Robert Hugill. Bartosz

Mezzo Soprano
Australian-Russian guitarist Andrey
Lebedev is on a mission to redefine
the relationship of the guitar to the
classical mainstream. His creative
collaborations and track record of
performing new works have garnered
him attention from critics and
audiences across Europe, South
America, USA, and Australia. He was
mentored by guitar giants Julian
Bream and John Williams and was the
first young guitarist invited by Bream to
perform for the Julian Bream Trust. He is
a Prize Winner of the renowned ARD
music competition and Guitar
Foundation of America Competition,
First Prize winner of the Gisborne
International Music Competition, and
still the only guitarist in the 85-year
history of the Sydney Eisteddfod to win
the esteemed “NSW Doctors Orchestra
Instrumental Scholarship”. He is a keen
collaborator across traditional stylistic
boundaries and has performed with
musicians as diverse as electroacoustic
artist Tim Moriarty and countertenor
Patrick Terry.
Praised by The Guardian for her
“irrepressible sense of drama and
unmissable, urgent musicality”,
Australian mezzo-soprano Lotte Betts-
Dean’s repertoire encompasses
contemporary music, art song,
chamber music, opera & early music.
Performance highlights include recitals
at Wigmore Hall, St John’s Smith Square
Barbican Centre’s Sound Unbound,
Buxton Festival and also Melbourne
Symphony Orchestra, English Chamber
Orchestra and Manchester Collective.
The 2020 ROSL Audrey Strange Award
winner, Lotte is also Yeoman of the
Musicians Company, a City Music
Foundation Artist, a Tait Memorial Trust
Awardee, an Associate Artist with both

Thank you for watching today’s recital with Lotte, Andrey and Bartosz - a
huge thanks to Peter Tompkins for allowing us to use the Clock Tower.
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, and put on our own
recitals and concerts and some one-off projects.
CMF Alumni tell us of the many ways CMF has helped them during the very
fragile early stages of their professional careers. Getting the necessary
visibility, and developing networks, gaining recognition in the industry,
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 wellbeing – reaching hundreds of
thousands through live performance, CDs, streaming, broadcast, teaching
and mentoring - giving back a thousand fold what CMF has given them.
