Veranstaltungsort: Chipping Sodbury Town Hall

Two young artists, Matthew Featherstone flute and Daniel Swain piano, sponsored by the Countess of Munster Musical Trust, treated the April audience to a wide ranging and enjoyable concert. The opening piece, Mozart’s Andante in C major for flute and piano, was marked by elegant phrasing and the wistful tone of the piece was well realised.

The concert featured a chamber group based in the West Country, the Ardeton Ensemble. Sarah Eales and Rebecca Harte, violins, Rachel Johnson, viola and Dury Loveridge, cello, with guest pianist Stephen Meakins, gave a balanced and enthusiastically received programme of works by three major composers.Beethoven’s first completed string quartet opened the evening.
