In this concert on Friday evening we are back in the familiar surroundings of the barn in Halloy and we pay a special tribute to Fauré.

The concert opens with Debussy’s colourful and imaginative sonata for cello and piano.

Fauré was a master in composing moving melodies and songs. Many of his students have dedicated their short works to him. In this concert you will hear a special suite of these gems; the piano, violin and soprano take turns singing their hearts out!

The last work of this evening is also a tribute to Fauré! Ravel dedicated his only string quartet to his good friend and teacher at the Paris Conservatory.

A special concert not to be missed!
