Programme Note
An exciting concert that reunites two of today's best performers, pianist Clara Rodriguez and Stephen Bryant, Concertmaster of the BBC Symphony Orchestra in a concert in aid of young Venezuelan musicians who are in desperate need to renew accessories for their instruments.
The programme will combine piano solo and violin and piano much-loved pieces, including Grieg's Violin and Piano Sonata No 2 and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata with a reading offered by Susan Porrett of the "Letter to the immortal beloved" by Beethoven. Vibrant Venezuelan music will also be performed by Stephen and Clara, including a selection of Joropos accompanied on the cuatro by Arnaldo Cogorno.
