Amadeus Duo – Margaret Preston on flute and Alina Bzhezhinska on harp present a programme which celebrates Chopin’s 200th Anniversary (1810-1849).
Their arrangements give an interesting slant on Chopin’s music, the evocative and sensuous combination of flute and harp taking a fresh look at some of the most popular piano repertoire.

Pete Stollery and Suk-Jun Kim
This concert is all about spaces and places... how, through technology, you can be taken to places whilst remaining in one particular space and to examine how plastic and elastic this single space can actually be. You’ll be taken to real and imaginary places through the music of these two acclaimed composers.
The programme will include 'Still Voices' and 'scènes, rendez-vous' by Pete Stollery as well as 'Welcome to Hasla' and 'On the Way to Fwarrheu' by Suk-Jun Kim.
