Add to my Calendar 06-03-2018 19:30 06-03-2018 21:30 36 Philip Higham & Susan Tomes Two of Scotland’s finest chamber musicians join forces for a concert of solo and duo performances. Philip Higham’s solo all-Bach concert was a highlight of our 2016/17 season and Susan Tomes makes a welcome, and long overdue, return to Peebles, having last performed here in 1991 with the Domus Piano Quartet. Framed between the last two of Beethoven’s great cello sonatas are shorter works for cello and piano by Janáček and Simon Smith (a former pupil of St Mary’s Music School). At the centre of the concert we hear these two superb artists individually as Susan Tomes plays Debussy Preludes and Philip Higham performs a work for solo cello written in 1978 by one of Scotland’s most prolific composers, John Maxwell Geddes, who died on 7 September 2017. “a major talent...Higham offered object lessons in lyrical sensitivity, musical architecture and expressive insight.” (Washington Post)“Susan Tomes is a treasure in our midst.” (Scotsman) For full details, please visit the Music in Peebles website.
