Roseland Music Society
Welcome to our 2023-2024 Concert Season
Friday, 14th June
Choir directed by Russell Pascoe
‘A Concert for Summer’
One of Cornwall’s great choirs makes a rare visit en masse to the Roseland for an evening of great choral music directed by Russell Pascoe.
Roseland Music Society is delighted to announce that Falmouth born soprano Kirsten Mulcahy will be performing as special guest singer with the City of Truro Male Voice choir at this concert.
Our organisation seems to be living in halcyon days!
We recently won theCornwall and Camborne Music Festivals, and received excellent reviews for our concerts andShouts.
In recent years we have taken a long hard look at ourselves and transformed from the traditional male choir into a more modern and forward looking organisation.
Our concert repertoire has changed accordingly, and we sing music from all periods and genres in French, German, Cornish and of course English!
We also lead Shouts in local pubs and breweries and make videos of our songs for You Tube.
We are not actively seeking members as we have a great line up, but are always happy to welcome interested men into our community.
Men’s mental health has never been more to the fore. Singing releases feel good endorphins and promotes connectedness between people.
Members are drawn from all walks of life, from doctors and film directors to plumbers and students!
We are an inclusive group who enjoy the opportunity to entertain through our singing. We rehearse once a week in Highertown, Truro.
There is an audition which is taken when the applicant feels confident and secure.
Doors Open and Licensed Bar open at 7.00pm. The Concert starts at 7.30pm

Trio Cordiera was established in 2016, bringing together three prize-winning young musicians: Antoine Préat (Piano,France), Hatty Haynes (Violin, UK) and Yanyan Lin (Cello, China).
Yanyan Lin joined the ensemble in 2020, bringing his dynamic and passionate voice to the ensemble.
The Trio is composed of scholars from the Royal Academy of Music and the Guildhall School of Drama, where they have all been taught by world-renowned artists including So-Ock Kim, Krysia Osostowicz, Christopher Elton, Tatiana Sarkissova, Jo Cole and Christoph Richter.
The Trio is currently mentored by Catherine Manson as part of the
Chamberstudio programme.
They have previously had extensive coaching with Amandine Savary and Jack Liebeck (Trio Dali,Trio Salieca), James Sleigh, Michael Dussek and Bengt Forsberg.
They have previously been part of the Wigmore Learning Program, performing at Wigmore Hall and assisting with educational programmes.
Trio Cordiera have developed a keen interest in Historical Performance and the members regularly perform on period instruments.
Their approach to learning repertoire is aimed towards a fresh and authentic interpretation, driven by a deep and methodical understanding of the score and the historical context, as well as an estimate of what it may have sounded like to the composer.
Members of the trio have collaborated with artists such as Alexander Melnikov, Andrew Marriner, Levon Chilingirian and Jerome Pernoo.
Collectively, they have performed internationally in venues such as Wigmore Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Carnegie Hall, Salle Gaveau, and Salle Cortot and in countries such as Japan, Hong Kong, China, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, America as well throughout France and the UK.

Martin Jones
“The Piano -
A Machine of Wonders”
The piano as an instrument for virtuoistic fireworks was put on the map by the c.19th glamorous composer and performer extraordinaire Franz Liszt – perhaps the first of ever global musical superstar.
He set the pattern for modern style, cultural leaders like Beyonce, Adele, by way of Liberace, Duke Ellington and Earl Wild and most concert pianists.
Martin Jones – has made the more dazzling and sometimes recondite parts of the piano repertoire his performing life’s work ever since his New York Carnegie Hall and London Queen Elizabeth Hall debut in 1968 55 years ago!
His recordings of the complete Percy Grainger piano music won many prizes and his inclusion of clever arrangements (as well as piano classics) in his programme should make for an entertaining evening
Martin Jones continues to champion music which tests the very boundaries of what can be written and performed with style for piano
Liszt : Variations on a Theme of Bach
Debussy : Images Book One
Percy Grainger : Ramble on a Theme from Richard Strauss’ Rosenkavalier
Albéniz : El Albaicin (from Iberia)
