BBC New Generation artist, Royal Over-Seas League Gold medallist and Classic FM Rising Star, Ryan Corbett is an accordionist hailed by Sir James MacMillan as “one of the most astonishing and surprising newcomers in Scottish music.” A leading exponent of his instrument, he has given over eight hours of radio broadcasts and a televised performance at the Scottish Coronation of HM King Charles III. Corbett has enlarged the repertoire by creating hundreds of new arrangements for accordion, but no matter how strong his passion for the instrument, it is his dedication to music itself that takes precedence.
In the 2024–25 season Ryan gives the world premiere of Jay Capperauld’s accordion concerto with the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland conducted by Catherine Larsen-Maguire, this will be toured around the UK before appearing at Young Euro Classic in Konzerthaus Berlin. Last-minute engagements have included an album recording with Sally Beaminsh, and a recording of Mikhail Pletnev’s concerto with Andrew Litton and the BBC Symphony Orchestra at two-days’ notice.
The season also sees return visits to Cowdray Hall Aberdeen, St George’s Bristol, Concerts at Cratfield, Deal Festival, Howdenshire Music, Lammermuir Festival, Perth Concert Hall, Madrid a Tempo, Stapleford Granary and Westbourne Music, alongside debuts at the Cheltenham Festival, Frankfurt Alte Oper and the Royal Opera House. Collaborations continue with Geneva Lewis and Djordje Gajic, alongside a new duo project with jazz pianist Fergus McCreadie.
