Event Description

The Alvor Trio: Sarah Newbold (flute), Martin Outram (viola) and Imogen Barford (harp)

The concert opens with a potpourri of favourite moments from Mozart’s opera ‘The Magic Flute’, melded together into a 12-minute ‘diversion’ by Derek Smith, and includes a trio arrangement, also by Derek Smith, of Mozart’s earliest string quartet. Central to the programme are two atmospheric trios of beguiling timbre, one by Debussy, one by Bax, written only a year apart (1915 and 1916), and Debussy’s famous Syrinx for solo flute. Vaughan Williams is represented by a much loved work, which reflects his lifelong fascination for English folk music, and the Welsh composer William Mathias by a trio comprising three character pieces associated with signs of the Zodiac.
