Corbridge Chamber Music Festival 2012

'We were first entranced by the Goulds at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough and at the Ryedale Festival. We have greatly enjoyed our third Corbridge Festival. What we find so special is that this intimate music is made by musicians who love playing together. We are planning to come every year.'
Judith Appleby, audience member from Yorkshire

Join the Gould Piano Trio, clarinettist Robert Plane and acclaimed guest musicians for three days of intimate chamber music in the historic and picturesque town of Corbridge, Northumberland. There’ll be Gallic charm in the shape of Faure’s Piano Quartet and Saint-Saens’s Second Piano Trio, alongside the intense passion of both of Brahms’s string Sextets. Our Olympic-themed salon concert features music from the cities and years of past Games, from John Ireland in London and Ravel in Paris to Rautavaara in Helsinki. We also present the dazzling ensemble Estrella, from New Zealand in our ‘Rising Stars’ showcase. On their first visit to the UK, this is 8 hands at 2 pianos like you’ve never heard before. With concerts throughout the day, our ever-popular Family Concert and a choral and instrumental Festival Service, the Corbridge Chamber Music Festival 2013 fills St. Andrew’s Church, Corbridge with glorious music from the 10th till the 12th of August.
