Festival Curtain Raiser The Gould Piano Trio launch their Corbridge Festival Schumann Trio cycle with his first tempestuous essay in the genre. After quirky contributions from a youthful Benjamin Britten and Jamaican British composer Eleanor Alberga we return to the world of high Romanticism with Brahms at the peak of his powers.

For the End of Time
Messiaen Quartet for the End of Time The Gould Trio and Robert Plane have been playing Messiaen’s monumental quartet together for over thirty years. Don’t miss this opportunity to marvel at Messiaen’s kaleidoscopic creation, today enhanced by the words of one of its most ardent admirers, poet Michael Simmons Roberts.

Under Nordic Skies We travel north to explore the music and the folk traditions of Scandinavia with the evocative strains of the Hardanger fiddle and a selection of Danish folk tunes, as arranged by the Danish String Quartet. These sit alongside lesser-known works from the classical tradition in this night under the Northern Lights.

Once Upon a Time… Weber was renowned for his mastery of German Romantic Opera, and the clarinettist certainly gets to play the diva in his ebullient quintet. Ravel’s enchanting set of fairy tales sets the scene.

Flute Focus
Tarantelle Op.6 We shine the spotlight on the flute in this programme, in a youthful Beethoven trio, Messiaen's evocation of a blackbird’s vocal prowess, and dancing alongside a clarinet in Saint-Saens’ cure for a scorpion’s bite.

Festival Finale
The sound of the cimbalom brings extra Eastern European spice to our closing concert. Hungarian composer György Kurtág celebrated his 100th birthday this February, and his Tre Pezzi are typical of his evocative work. But Debussy also fell for the cimbalom's quirky charm! The Gould Trio complete their Schumann cycle, and Tchaikovsky finally sends us away bathed in Tuscan sunshine.
Claude Debussy: La plus que lente György Kurtág: Tre Pezzi for clarinet and cimbalom, op. 38 Robert Schumann: Piano Trio no. 3 in G minor, op. 110 Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky: String Sextet in D minor, op.70, Souvenir de Florence
