Programme Note
Enjoy the Frome Carnival and join us for a later Carnival Night concert of piano duets with Stephen Marquiss and Liz Kozlowski. Pianists Stephen Marquiss and Liz Kozlowski bring Dvorak’s Legends, an exquisite cycle of ten pieces for four-hands, to life. Equally epic and enchanting, the cycle is inspired by the poems of Erben (think of a Czech version of the Brothers Grimm) and carries a narrative which continues through the piece. But what tales do each of the stories in the cycle tell?
Our carnival concert programme continues with Saint-Saens’ thrilling Danse Macabre. Death plays the fiddle on All Hallow’s Eve as the dead revel and dance til the break of dawn. The colourful pageantry of Saint-Saens’ Carnival of the Animals brings our Carnival Night to a fitting close, unless it’s not too late for some Piazzolla… With special thanks to international felt artist Gladys Paulus for the loan of her beautiful masks for the performance.
Refreshments available from 8 pm and during the interval.
