Fri 5 Dec 2014: The Chamber Music Company from ChOClive

This event is in the past.

In association with Good Night Out, ChOClive is pleased to welcome to Charlbury The Chamber Music Company performing a classical repertoire played with flair and imagination.

Our programme for the evening features three very different pieces: -

Mozart Trio in E Major K542
Beethoven Trio in D Major Op 70 No. 1 "The Ghost"
Jadassohn Trio in E major Op 20

This concert is part of CMC's Rare Music Series which is devoted to providing a showcase for great works that have disappeared from mainstream performance.
