Programme Note

In this afternoon concert, piano duo Jong-Gyung Park and Anthony Zerpa Falcon bring their musical dynamism to bear on a colourful selection of repertoire for four hands. The programme ranges from Schubert's great Fantasie in F minor to Gershwin's show-stopping Rhapsody in Blue. It includes a rare chance to hear Airs of the Seasons, a sonata for piano duet by Ailsa Dixon, which remained unperformed until after she died in 2017. Premiered at St George's Bristol, it was hailed as 'most definitely a work by a British composer with an original musical vision... delightful and inventive, rich in imagination, moods and expression.' Its four movements, each prefaced in the score by a short poem, evoke in turn the magical stillness after a winter snowfall, the first stirrings of spring, a dragonfly darting over the water in summer, and finally a retrospective mood amid the turning leaves of autumn.
Tea and cake will be served after the concert.
