En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Court Studies from The Tempest

The Aurora orchestra chose one of the most eclectic mixes of music that St George’s has seen in a classic music concert inspired by the home, opening the eyes of Bristol to a strange variety of pieces.

Ingolf Dahl’s Concerto à tre is a three-movement piece (but played without breaks) for clarinet, cello and violin. Although it was a very fluid piece, there were many different elements within the music. The violin often played a classical-sounding melody, whereas the rhythm, drive and repetition of the piece at times reminded me of the American minimalists.
