TO SAY Tasmin Little is having a busy 2012 is something of an understatement. The last month alone has seen her in the US, Wales, London (in the Wallace and Gromit Prom) and a fortnight in Australia.
Tonight she will play her second Prom of the season – this time alongside the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
“It’s been the most fun,” she says with a laugh.
“I never like to complain and say I’ve been so busy, because everything I do I take on myself and I agree to do it. And everything has been lovely.”
Next Thursday’s concert at the Royal Albert Hall reunites the 47-year-old with the Liverpool Philharmonic, with whom she has been a regular performer during her three-decade career. And secondly, she’s playing Delius, the composer she’s championed since she started performing professionally in the 1980s.
It’s the 150th anniversary of Delius’s birth, and playing his violin concerto at the Proms is a first for Little.
The concert will be broadcast on Radio 3. But Liverpool audiences will get to hear it played again live at a concert at the Philharmonic Hall in November.
Meanwhile the Phil’s 2012 Prom also includes a London premiere of Sir Peter Maxwell Davies’ 9th Symphony, and Shostakovich’s 10th Symphony. It will be the first time Little has worked with conductor Vasily Petrenko.
THE Liverpool Philharmonic plays at the BBC Proms on August 23. Tasmin Little will also appears with the orchestra at the Philharmonic Hall on November 17.
