Concert - Saturday 27th April 2019 at 7:30pm

Robert Plane (Clarinet) with the Gould Piano Trio

Our concert next Saturday is the final concert in this current series and we are delighted to welcome the Gould Piano Trio together with the clarinetist Robert Plane.  

The Gould Piano Trio - Lucy Gould (Violin), Richard Lester (Cello), Ben Frith (Piano) directly compared to the great Beaux Arts Trio for their “musical fire” and “dedication to the genre” in the Washington Post, have remained at the forefront of the international chamber music scene for a quarter of a Century. The Gould has made extensive tours of N. America, the Far East and New Zealand, and has performed throughout Europe. In addition they have given master classes at the Britten Pears Young Artist Programme, Dartington, RWCMD and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where they enjoy discussing interpretation with the most promising young ensembles of our day.

Robert Plane’s hugely varied career has seen concerto appearances in Europe, Asia and the USA, with performances of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto in Madrid with the City of London Sinfonia, Beijing with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and in the USA with the Virginia Symphony. He made his BBC Proms debut at the Royal Albert Hall in 2011 with Simon Holt’s double concerto ‘Centauromachy’. Exploring a wide range of repertoire and commissioning new works, highlights of past seasons have included Piers Hellawell’s Agricolas with the Ulster Orchestra and RTE Symphony Orchestra, Finzi with the Zurich Chamber Orchestra, Christian Jost with the Dortmunder Philharmoniker and Stanford with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.

Their programme includes the Trio for Clarinet, Piano and cello by Louise Ferrence together with works by Theodore Kirchner, a new work by the Welsh composer Huw Watkin and the Brahms Piano Trio Op.8 in B major. A terrific programme so do join us on Saturday at 7.30 pm at our usual venue.
