Larkspur Duo : “Tin Travels”


Tin Ingots, discovered in a shipwreck off the coast of Israel, are found to have come from the West of England.

Larkspur, a fiddle and accordion duo who explore their shared interest in the traditional music of Europe, will imagine the journey of those ingots from their extraction in Cornwall to the shores of the Eastern Mediterranean.

A rousing Lancashire hornpipe, plaintive Ukranian waltz and foot-stomping Bulgarian ruchenitsa will lead them into a freer, more original sound world of harmony and sonority..


The programme includes newly-composed music and the spoken word.

Doors Open and Licensed Bar from 7.00pm. The Concert starts at 7.30pm

Venue :
Gerrans Parish Memorial Hall, Gerrans Hill, Portscatho, Truro TR2 5EE

City Of Truro Male Choir


Choir directed by Russell Pascoe


‘A Concert for Summer’


One of Cornwall’s great choirs makes a rare visit en masse to the Roseland for an evening of great choral music directed by Russell Pascoe.

Our organisation seems to be living in halcyon days!
We recently won theCornwall and Camborne Music Festivals, and received excellent reviews for our concerts andShouts.

In recent years we have taken a long hard look at ourselves and transformed from the traditional male choir into a more modern and forward looking organisation.


Our concert repertoire has changed accordingly, and we sing music from all periods and genres in French, German, Cornish and of course English!


We also lead Shouts in local pubs and breweries and make videos of our songs for You Tube.

We are not actively seeking members as we have a great line up, but are always happy to welcome interested men into our community.


Men’s mental health has never been more to the fore. Singing releases feel good endorphins and promotes connectedness between people.

Members are drawn from all walks of life, from doctors and film directors to plumbers and students!


We are an inclusive group who enjoy the opportunity to entertain through our singing. We rehearse once a week in Highertown, Truro.
There is an audition which is taken when the applicant feels confident and secure.

Doors Open and Licensed Bar open at 7.00pm.  The Concert starts at 7.30pm

They have previously been part of the Wigmore Learning Program, performing at Wigmore Hall and assisting with educational programmes.

 

Trio Cordiera have developed a keen interest in Historical Performance and the members regularly perform on period instruments.

Their approach to learning repertoire is aimed towards a fresh and authentic interpretation, driven by a deep and methodical understanding of the score and the historical context, as well as an estimate of what it may have sounded like to the composer.

 

Members of the trio have collaborated with artists such as Alexander Melnikov, Andrew Marriner, Levon Chilingirian and Jerome Pernoo.

Collectively, they have performed internationally in venues such as Wigmore Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Carnegie Hall, Salle Gaveau, and Salle Cortot and in countries such as Japan, Hong Kong, China, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, America as well throughout France and the UK.

Martin Jones

 “The Piano -
A Machine of Wonders”

 

The piano as an instrument for virtuoistic fireworks was put on the map  by the  c.19th glamorous composer and performer extraordinaire Franz Liszt – perhaps the first of ever  global musical superstar.


He set the pattern for modern style, cultural leaders  like Beyonce, Adele, by way of Liberace, Duke Ellington and Earl Wild and most concert pianists. 


Martin Jones – has made the more dazzling and sometimes recondite parts of the piano repertoire his performing life’s work ever since his New York Carnegie Hall and London Queen Elizabeth Hall debut in 1968  55 years ago!


His recordings of the complete Percy Grainger piano music won many prizes and his inclusion of clever arrangements (as well as piano classics) in his programme should make for an entertaining evening

 

Martin Jones continues to champion music which tests the very boundaries of what can be written and performed with style for piano

 

Liszt : Variations on a Theme of Bach

Debussy : Images Book One

Percy Grainger : Ramble on a Theme from Richard Strauss’ Rosenkavalier

 

Albéniz : El Albaicin (from Iberia)

Earl Wild :  Variations on Gershwin’s “Porgy & Bess”
