Trish Calnan, violin Catherine Hayek, violin George Robertson, viola Jeremy Capey, cello Elgar Serenade in E minor Turina The Bullfighter’s Prayer Piazzolla Libertango Ravel String Quartet in F major The programme takes you on a colourful musical journey, from the gentle warmth and lyrical beauty of Elgar's Serenade to the rich Spanish atmosphere of Turina's The Bullfighter's Prayer, the irresistible rhythms and passion of Piazzolla's Libertango, and the glorious colours and textures of Ravel's String Quartet in F major.

The Brothers Gillespie

Arts Centre · Ashburton

“When The Brothers Gillespie sing, a portal opens. Seeing them perform for the first time felt like I was reminded who I really was…the thread of their ethereal voices weaving a spell around the room. They sing with an ancient wisdom that is entirely for us, now — nothing feels more present. Their beautiful music will open your heart” Johnny Flynn (actor and musician) The songs of Northumbrian folk alchemists The Brothers Gillespie (James and Sam Gillespie) are animated by lyrical poetry, fluid fingerstyle guitar, multi-instrumental musicianship and “the glorious tones of their blood harmony” (Sam Lee). Theirs is a music of encounter, of lark song and crow call, ash leaves and hidden ways. It is rooted in the earth and arises most strongly for them when they are out walking in the borderlands with their packs and instruments. Bringing together visionary mythopoetics with a radical spirit, the brothers tread an older path whilst singing with fierce tenderness to the present time in its grief and luminosity.

The Linton Duo presents Beau Soir

Arts Centre · Ashburton

Johann Sebastian Bach Sonata for violin and keyboard no.3 in E major, BWV 1016 Lili Boulanger Nocturne and Cortège D'un matin de printemps Claude Debussy Violin Sonata in G minor L 140 for violin and piano Amy Beach Romance César Franck Violin Sonata in A Major This concert takes us from one of the most exquisitely beautiful pieces of Bach to the world of the French Impressionists at the point their music enters the avant garde. Lili Boulanger accomplished much in her short life and her salon pieces are some of the last compositions in her hand before she was overtaken with illness and death. Her impulsive D'un Matin du Printemps is deceptively simple and shares many characteristics with the mercurial violin sonata by Debussy. Amy Beach's rich Romance leads us to .one of the finest violin sonatas ever written: César Franck navigates the heights of musical drama and searing intensity in this wedding gift for Ysaye and despite the notoriously demanding piano part, the players must ride the storm of intense musical dialogue with true virtuosity. Watch Philippa and Alfred playing together here on Vimeo The Linton Duo brings together British violinist Philippa Mo and Hong Kong-born p...
