Sun 7 Oct 2018: Tea Concert: Flute and Piano recital
This event is in the past.
.
The first CRAG tea concert of the season!
.
Philippa Davies, flute. Maggie Cole, piano
"Davies is an intrepid, inquiring and a superb flautist. We hang upon her every note: her playing is warm, fluid, various and as richly vocal as could be." (Financial Times)
Since her celebrated performance of Mozart's Concerto in D major at the BBC Proms in 1988, Philippa Davies has established an international reputation as one of the finest flautists currently performing. She gives recitals and broadcasts throughout the world and has performed concertos in the UK, Europe and North and South America
She is a member of the Nash Ensemble and London Winds and plays as regular guest principal flute with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the English Chamber Orchestra.
Philippa will be joined by the eminent American-born harpsichordist and pianist Maggie Cole, described in The New York Times as "A graceful, vital musician with an elegant technique and a razor-sharp feeling for phrasing and accent".
The programme will include
JS Bach - Sonata in B minor BWV 1030
Debussy - 'Syrinx' for solo flute
Ravel - 'Les Oiseaux Tristes' for solo piano
Fauré - 'Morceau de Concours'
Poulenc - Sonata for flute and piano
Philippa and Maggie's recording of the Bach Flute Sonatas was released by Avie records in 2006. You can listen to them playing it here: youtu.be/QnNJPNXNm24
The concert is in the Memorial Hall at 3pm, followed by free tea and cake.
