Amici della Musica

Thurs 2 May View Venues, Dates & Times

Featuring Philippe Graffin (violin), ​Elizabeth Wallfisch (viola), Raphael Wallfisch (cello) & Piers Lane (piano).

Programme includes Mahler's Piano Quartet movement in A minor; Schulhoff's Duo for Violin and Cello; Smetana's Polkas de salon Op 7 Nos 2 & 3 plus Caprice bohemien in F Op 12 & Dvorak's Piano Quartet in E flat Op 87.

Raphael Wallfisch, a favourite and regular Festival performer, brings his newly-formed group to Leamington. Both French violinist Philippe Graffin with Raphael, and Australian pianist Piers Lane with Tasmin Little, thrilled audiences here some twenty years ago, while Raphael’s wife Elizabeth has more often been heard in memorable concerts in Warwick.

The programme sets off the Festival themes admirably with Mahler’s powerful and rare foray into chamber music, Schulhoff’s atmospheric duo from 1925, followed by piano solos from Smetana in his big year, and ending with a glorious Quartet by Dvořák, one of his most attractive chamber works.

This concert is generously supported by Paul & Jane Watts.
