RICHARD MARKHAM (Piano)
Though Mr. Markham has established already a considerable
reputation both here and abroad, it is his first visit to the Society.
He was born in 1952 and won an open scholarship to the Royal
Academy of Music. Subsequently he was a prizewinner in the
Geneva International Competition and won scholarships from
the Countess of Munster Musical Trust and the Gulbenkian
Foundation.
He has made a considerable number of broadcasts for the B.B.C.
and his London debut in 1974 was at the Queen Elizabeth Hall.

This Wind Quintet is formed from the principal wind players of
the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. Janet Hilton will be well known
to the Society's audience, having visited us in previous seasons.
The Quintet was reconstituted recently and this season is giving
a series of Concerts with the support of the Yorkshire Arts
Association, concentrating on the inclusion in their programmes
of works by contemporary composers. In the case of our Pro-
gramme the two British and one American 20th century composers
are well known to all music lovers.

THE ALBERNI STRING QUARTET
HOWARD DAVIS (Volin)
PETER POPLE (Violin)
BERIAN EVANS (Viola)
DAVID SMITH ('Cello)
with ROGER BEST (Viola)
The Alberni String Quartet is very well known to the Society's
members. They have visited us on previous occasions and were,
of course, here during the Festival for one of the Saturday morn-
ing Concerts.
Their recent tours of Australia and New Zealand and their fine
recordings have brought them wide international fame.
On this occasion they are joined by the distinguished Viola player,
Roger Best, so that the Society may have the opportunity to hear
two fine Viola Quintets not represented in the Society's Pro-
grammes for very many years.

KATHLEEN LIVINGSTONE (Soprano)
with SIMON NICHOLLS (Piano)
and DAVID CAMPBELL (Clarinet)
Kathleen Livingstone started her musical career as a Pianist and
it was not until she commenced her studies at the Royal Scottish
Academy of Music that she embarked on a singing career.
She was the first woman graduate to obtain a Diploma in Musical
Education with Honours and in her final year won several prizes.
In 1975 she was the winner of the National Federation of Music
Societies' Award and also a finalist in the Kathleen Ferrier
Memorial Competition. Since then she has had a distinguished
record of Concert appearances.
Kathleen Livingstone is married to the tenor Neil Mackie.
She is joined on this occasion by her accompanist, Simon Nicholls.
We are fortunate also to have with her David Campbell to enable
the Society to hear the Schubert song "Shepherd on the Rock".

Programme.
The Chilingirian Quartet is well known to B.B.C. listeners and has
been resident Quartet at Liverpool for some time. Jane Manning
is extremely well known to York listeners, having delighted us
with her very fine singing on many occasions.

ship and diploma.
