Music for Piano Duet
Start time: 4pm
In this afternoon concert, piano duo Jong-Gyung Park and Anthony Zerpa Falcon bring their musical dynamism to bear on a colourful selection of repertoire for four hands. The programme begins and ends with sparkling arrangements of two classic works, Beethoven's 5th Symphony and Gershwin's show-stopping Rhapsody in Blue. In between we have Schubert's great Fantasie in F Minor, and a rare chance to hear Airs of the Seasons, a sonata for piano duet by Ailsa Dixon, which remained unperformed until after she died in 2017. Premiered at St George's Bristol, it was hailed as 'most definitely a work by a British composer with an original musical vision... delightful and inventive, rich in imagination, moods and expression.' Its four movements, each prefaced in the score by a short poem, evoke in turn the magical stillness after a winter snowfall, the first stirrings of spring, a dragonfly darting over the water in summer, and finally a retrospective mood amid the turning leaves of autumn. Tea and cake will be served after the concert.
