Programme

Overview

Commemorate the 50th anniversary of Britten’s passing and the 70th celebration of his 1956 cycle, The Heart of the Matter, in a chamber recital spotlighting a rare clarinet, cello and piano trio. Discover Britten’s evocative score alongside Strauss, Berlioz, Donizetti and a world-premiere Schubert arrangement by Brian Hughes. Experience an evening of intimate dialogue and timeless musical artistry.Step into a world of refined chamber music as we mark the 50th anniversary of Benjamin Britten’s passing and the 70th celebration of his 1956 cycle, The Heart of the Matter. Britten’s poignant composition for clarinet, cello and piano weaves intimate conversations between lyrical melodies and subtle harmonic textures, moving gracefully between introspective calm and dramatic intensity. This evocative work is paired with selections by Richard Strauss, Hector Berlioz and Gaetano Donizetti, each brought to life through the ensemble’s delicate interplay, alongside a world-premiere arrangement of Franz Schubert by Brian Hughes. Throughout the programme, the clarinet’s warm lyrical lines, the cello’s rich sonority and the piano’s articulate resonance combine to paint a vivid tapestry of colour and emotion. Audiences will be drawn into a soundscape where every nuance and dynamic shift reveals the enduring power of chamber music. Join us for an evening of commemorative reflection and intimate virtuosity as this distinctive trio brings to life five decades of musical innovation.
