NADSA concerts brings its
season to a close, at Teignmouth Community School on Saturday 13th April, with a most unusual programme:
music for flute and strings.
Indeed, this combination has not been promoted by
the society before, and it will give the audience a rare opportunity to hear
these works performed.
The ensemble bringing this
interesting programme is the Divertimento String Quartet with flautist Judith
Hall. Judith, popular, and locally based leading flautist, will make this her
welcome return to NADSA concerts. Her last appearance with the society was 5
years ago, when she gave a sell-out concert with leading guitarist, Craig
Ogden. She obviously delights in being out of the ordinary.
The individuals making up the
quartet: Mary Eade, Lindsay Braga, Andrew Gillett and Vicky Evans, have
followed diverse paths and enthusiasms. As well as their collaboration in this
ensemble, they are sought after as soloists, chamber musicians and orchestral
players.
They have chosen works by
Mozart, Panufnik, Rossini and Bruch: an intriguing juxtaposition. The first
three works, themselves hugely contrasting, are for flute and strings; the
final one, Bruch’s wonderful String Quartet in C minor, Op 9, is infused with
romantic melodies, warm sonorities and harmonies, as well as unexpected fiery,
rhythmic motifs.
Mozart, though myths abound
of his hating the sound of the flute, composed beautiful melodies for the
instrument, and the resulting compositions occupy one of the most delightful
niches in his musical legacy.
Panufnik’s atmospheric work, "Hommage to Chopin",
was originally commissioned by UNESCO for a concert in 1949 commemorating the
100th anniversary of Chopin’s death. Panufnik adapted the work for
flute and strings in 1966. The Rossini is quintessential Rossini: wit, speed,
elegance, memorable tunes and infectious
high spirits.
This varied programme of music making has been assembled to
entertain, amuse and inspire: a fitting end to the nadsaconcert season.
