Programme

Overview

The increasingly prominent Scottish pianist has a particular interest in chamber music: he founded the Swiss chamber music festival at Ernen in 2019. Here he joins with a quartet he regularly partners for Elgar’s late masterpiece. The Financial Times thought the Doric’s recording of Haydn’s Op. 20 responded ‘with imagination to each fresh idea, bringing into play a lightness of touch, much spirit and – this being Haydn – wit’.

This concert is part of the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust ticket scheme, offering free tickets to those aged 8-25
