“..beautifully blended performance”  Gramophone 2017

Due to unforseen circumstances, the original programme has had to change. Mark Derudder and Miguel Angel Rodriguez Olivera will be joined by guest principal musicians from Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. Alongside Jesper Svedberg, Auriol Evans, Tom Beer and Joan Martinez, and they will present a special programme for us. The group have performed chamber music together to much acclaim, so we welcome them to Broadstone this spring!

Schubert String Quintet in C major.

Brahms Sextet no 1 in B flat major.

This recital is a pre-performance to Idomeneo’s residency in the Benjamin Britten Festival which begins on 8th April.

As ever, musical education is a key part of this programme and six local, young musicians are receiving coaching on the Brahms sextet for a future performance.

Interval tea and fresh cakes included!

£12 Adults, £3 students
