Treat promised for chamber music lovers
CHAMBER music lovers will have a rare treat when American-based The
Performing Arts Trio of Pennsylvania gives its first recital in
Salisbury next Wednesday 7.30pm at Salisbury Cathedral School.
The trio consisting of violin clarinet and piano has put together a
programme of 20th century music.
Sophie Till violinist and daughter of the Dean of Winchester
explains: "Our recital opens with Milhaud's Suite and then moves to
Bartok's Contrasts commissioned by jazz clarinettist Benny Goodman
and violinist Joseph Szigeti. The duo requested a work in the style
of Bartok's violin Rhapsodies.
"Khachaturian's Trio in G minor displays the composer's Armenian
heritage through his use of folk and dance music styles.
"Finally we end with Hause's Labyrinth of Flames crafted as a poem
which should leave the listeners with food for thought."
Canon Jeremy Davies chairman of the choral foundation is grateful to
the trio performing on the 14th in order to raise funds for the girl
choristers' current tour to Sweden. Playing with Sophie Till is
Maureen Hurd on clarinet and Muriel Phillips on piano.
Admission to the recital is free but there will be a retiring
collection.
