Programme Note
Internationally acclaimed musicians David Le Page and Viv McLean will be performing music for violin and piano, including original works composed by David le Page and showcasing the debut of his new album, ‘The Book of Ebenezer’, inspired by the character created by writer and native Guernseyman Gerald Basil Edwards. Cantankerous, opinionated, and charming, Ebenezer Le Page is one of the most compelling literary creations of the late twentieth century.
“The finesse and fieriness of his playing is always top-notch, but more than that, his unique sense of creativity infuses everything he does. His music has a strong personal voice, full of improvisatory flair and independence of thought – and, like his interpretations of the classical repertoire, seems driven by a deeply poetic spirit……” The Independent.
“Extraordinary originality, superb simplicity, and fingers of steel hidden behind muscles of velvet. He plays with the genius one finds in those who know how to forget themselves, naturally placing themselves at the right point to meet the music, this mystery of the moment…..” Le Monde, Paris.
