Enigma 14 TrioA slightly earlier reminder than usual as our next concert falls on Easter Saturday to make sure this date was in your diaries. For this Easter Saturday concert we welcome the Enigma 14 Trio with Lisa Nelsen (Flute), Paul Turner (Piano) and Julian Metzger (Cello) with an interesting and delightful programme of works by Haydn, Louise Farrence, Stacey Garrop and Loell Liebermann. Lisa is internationally recognised for her versatility as a flute soloist, chamber and orchestral musician, educator and mentor in performance practices. She is also Chair of the British Flute Society and is one of the flute Professors and Woodwind Academy coaching for the Junior Department of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Enigma 14 Trio have now been together for eight years and in addition to each of them having a wonderful sense of humour, Lisa Nelsen, Julian Metzger and Paul Turner are formidable musicians with a passion for chamber music and the repertoire that has been composed for flute, cello and piano. Gould Piano TrioOur second concert of 2024 is on Saturday 24th February at 7.30pm at St Johns Church Argyle Road Whitstable. We welcome once more the Gould Piano Trio. If you are not a season ticket holder, tickets are usually available at the ticket desk on the evening. We look forward to seeing you next Saturday for what will be a great concert. Wiggin-Wass Duo - (Saxophone and Harp)Our first concert of 2024 is on Saturday 27th January at 7.30pm at our usual venue St Johns Church Argyle Road Whitstable. We welcome back the saxophonist Huw Wiggin who played for us with great acclaim in March 2019. On that occasion he was accompanied by the pianist John Lenehan and it was a truly memorable recital. This time Huw will be accompanied by the harpist Oliver Wass who together are known as The Wiggin Wass Duo. At first sight you might think that this is a slightly unusual pairing of instruments but in fact it is a spellbinding combination. For an example, on the Concert Programme page, the YouTube clip of the beautiful and enchanting sound these musicians with their wonderful interpretation of In the bleak Midwinter by Gustav Holst. If you are not a season ticket holder, tickets are usually available at the ticket desk on the evening. We look forward to seeing you next Saturday for what will be a remarkable and memorable concert. Maggini String QuartetIn case it's not already in your diary this is to remind you that our next concert is this coming Saturday at the usual time and place and features the internationally acclaimed Maggini String Quartet. Formed in 1988, the Maggini Quartet is one of the finest British string quartets. Its acclaimed recordings have won many international awards including Gramophone Chamber Music Award of the Year, Diapason d’Or of the Year and a Cannes Classical Award, and have twice been nominated for Grammy Awards. Recent projects have been recordings of the string quartets of Welsh composer Arwel Hughes, a disc of music by Jonathan Rutherford and another of Mozart’s ‘Hunt’ and ‘Dissonance’ quartets. They have proposed a superb programme:
I hope you will be able to join us. It's worth coming just for the wonderful biscuits with the tea and coffee during the interval, quite apart from the truly wonderful music!! |
