    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.

    Niels Gade: Fantasiestücke for Clarinet and Piano, op.43
    Folk music performed on the Hardanger Fiddle
    Edvard Grieg: Andante con Moto in C minor, for Piano Trio

    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.

    Maurice Ravel: Ma mère l'oye
    Carl Maria von Weber: Clarinet Quintet, op.34

    Romantic Undercurrents
    Schubert’s ever-fresh ‘Trout’ Quintet has been delighting audiences for over two hundred years. The double bass it features also opens this concert, showcasing the virtuosity of this ‘cinderella’ instrument of the orchestra with Rossini’s witty duo, whilst the Gould Trio continue their Schumann exploration.

    Gioachino Rossini: Duet for Cello and Double Bass in D Major
    Robert Schumann: Piano Trio no. 2 in F major, op. 80
    Franz Schubert: Piano Quintet in A major, D. 667, The Trout

    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.

    Ludwig van Beethoven: Serenade op. 25
    Rebecca Clarke: Prelude, Allegro and Pastorale
    Olivier Messiaen: Le Merle Noir
    Camille Saint-Saëns: Tarantelle, op. 6

    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
