2020 season's recitals

28th April
A Concert of Eastern European Gypsy Music
In support of Ukraine
Jubovski: Liz Cowdrey (violin, viola), Jub (double bass, tenor), Peter Cowdrey (piano) with Annabel Molyneaux (mezzo) and Paul Molyneaux (poetry, bass)
A concert of gypsy music accompanied by pieces which derive from folk music in rural communities, for example Janacek's Children's Rhymes - hysterical nonsense verse, and instrumental pieces such as Bartok's Romanian Dances - so beautiful that they make me weep.
All music is from the Ukraine and neighbouring countries giving refuge to those who are escaping.
