Midsummer Classics: Clarinet and Grand Piano

Midsummer Classics: Clarinet and Grand Piano

Saturday 21st June, 12 noon

Based in Gothenburg, Sweden, international chamber duo Dialogue of Minds visits The Horton in their second UK tour.

Praised for their “great sensitivity” and technical virtuosity, British-Australian clarinettist Kristina Newton and Swedish pianist Joel Slott come together in an evening where timeless masters of classical music meet with exciting new voices of today.

The programme commences with the Australian Margaret Sutherland’s lyrical clarinet sonata. The energetic high points of Finzi’s ‘Five Bagatelles’ and Debussy’s romantic ‘Première Rhapsodie’ will both draw parallels with the alternatingly vivid and melodic ‘Suite Fantastique’ by Swedish composer and professor Rolf Martinsson.

Dialogue of Minds is also proud to present newly commissioned work by celebrated Swedish composer Nicole Rubinova. The programme will conclude with a joyful virtuosic arrangement of Mozart’s ‘Eine kleine Nachtmusik’.
