SUMMARY:Guarneri Piano Trio

Although the three members also have careers as soloists\, playing together for nearly forty years brings another dimension to the Trio’s performances. \nThe ensemble bears the family name of the makers of both string instruments used by the Trio. Cenek Pavlík plays the famous ‘Zimbalist’ violin by Guarneri del Gesù from the precious collection of Luigi Tarisio\, while Marek Jerie plays a cello made by Andrea Guarneri in l684. \nThe Trio’s stunning interpretation of Smetana’s masterpiece on previous visits absolutely had to be included in this programme\, along with these wonderful works by Dvořák and his son-in-law\, Suk\, and will once again demonstrate the Trio’s complete immersion in the rich Czech repertoire. \nGenerously supported by Michael & Halldóra Blair \n£27 | £17\n(£1 children / students)

SUMMARY:Ensemble 360
DESCRIPTION:Ensemble 360\nBrahms   Serenade in D Op 11\nMartinů   Nonet No 2\nDohnányi   Sextet in C Op 37\n  \nIt’s becoming an annual tradition for Ensemble 360 to follow the morning Sunday Family Concert with a large-scale afternoon chamber music concert and in using all eleven members of the group\, this year’s is rather special. Brahms’s first Serenade and Martinů’s Nonet have been much enjoyed by our audiences before\, but the Sextet by Dohnányi is programmed for the first time. Written in Budapest in 1935\, it is a Romantic work\, richly scored and bubbling in tunes – a work to be fully discovered by most of us! \n£22 unreserved\n(£1 children / students)
