Showcase concert: Tuesday 7 July

---

Generally we have not programmed big sonatas in the Summer Festival concerts, for various reasons. However, tonight we start with one of Schubert’s best loved sonatas, and follow it with a delightful collection of smaller pieces, written up to 100 years before and after Schubert’s death. All of them could be described as salon pieces; although they are not in chronological order, they provide a guide to the development of more intimate music during that 200-year period. Hubay’s Carmen Fantasy is sometimes performed with orchestra, but in essence it is a showpiece for the technical abilities of the violinist.

This concert will go live at 7.30pm on Tuesday 7 July.
