REVIEW

The dynamic violinist, KAMILA BYDLOWSKA, and SHIRY RASHKOVSKY came to the West Country as the Carneval String Trio in 2018. They return with Ella Rundle as TRIO KLEIN.
SHIRY RASHKOVSKY was lauded by The Strad for her ‘beguiling… thrilling and exuberant‘ Royal Festival Hall debut. ELLA RUNDLE ‘…a splendid account of Debussy’s cello sonata, weaving together its disjointed eccentricities skilfully and quite briskly. Faure’s Romance was eloquent and understated, and Chopin’s Introduction and Polonaise Brilliante op.3 was performed with panache..‘ – The Strad, Wigmore Hall 2013.

In June 2015, Riyad graduated with a distinction in a Master of Performance course at the Royal College of Music when he won the Gold Medal at the prestigious Chappell Piano Competition.

Thai-British musician PRACH BOONDISKULCHOK enjoys a diverse and international career as a pianist, historical keyboard player, composer and teacher. ‘Ecstatic rendition (Bach) … would have been a high point in any recital programme.’ The Independent – A prize-winner of the 2016 International Bach Competition, French-born cellist VLADIMIR WALTHAM is much in demand as a soloist and chamber musician on modern and baroque cello, and viola da gamba.

CREATING CARMEN
A new concert/play by CLARE NORBURN
Live music performed and arranged by the Andrews Massey Duo with Francisco Correa
EMILY ANDREWS flute and voice
DAVID MASSEY and FRANCISCO CORREA classical guitarists
MERIMÉE played by NIALL ASHDOWN
CARMEN played by ALICE IMELDA
DIRECTED by NICHOLAS RENTON

REVIEW

Prosper Mérimée is struggling with his latest novella, when his leading character – Carmen – turns up in his study, larger than life, with a band of musicians in tow and chaos in her wake. Which of them controls the narrative? And what will happen when Carmen discovers the nasty ending Mérimée has planned for her? A fun-filled performance of fantasy, comedy, drama and tremendous music arranged from Bizet’s Carmen and Spanish and Spanish-inspired music by Boccherini, de Falla, de Lorca, Granados, Ravel and Albéniz. Clare Norburn returns with another fascinating creation, following the fascinating Burying the Dead performed in 2018.
