BAFS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Banstead Arts Festival 2008

LONDON MOZART TRIO: Krysztof Smietana, violin Leonid Gorokhov, cello Colin Stone, piano Saturday 15th November 2008
Banstead Arts Festival 2008
Programme includes Schubert Trio in B flat D898, Rachmaninov Trio élégiaque No 2 in D minor Op 9
The London Mozart Trio has earned critical acclaim for its many committed performances and profound musicianship and all three members are leading soloists in their own right.  Both Leonid and Colin have played for BAFS before and we are very pleased to welcome them back with their colleague, the eminent Polish violinist Kysztof Smietana.  Their recording of the Schubert Trio D898 was selected by the BBC for the “Building a Library” series and their latest Shostakovitch recording was Classic FM’s CD of the Month in June this year.

Tickets from Banstead Music Shop or The Ibis Bookshop, High Street, Banstead, or at the door as available

MARINA NADIRADZE: Piano Saturday 7th February 2009
Banstead Arts Festival 2008

Scarlatti - Three Sonatas Mozart - Piano Sonata K475 Schumann - Abegg Variations Debussy - Estampes Prokofiev - Piano Sonata No 2 in D minor Op 14.

Marina’s early studies were in Tbilisi, Georgia, and her exceptional talent led her in 1998 to the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama to study with Philip Jenkins.  She has since pursued a successful solo career in many countries of the world and we are very pleased to welcome her to Banstead, where she will play the Yamaha CF IIIS hand-crafted concert grand piano, generously sponsored by Yamaha-Kemble. “The power and beauty of such exquisite artistry was the kind of heavenly experience to make you feel better about the world around you” – The Scottish Herald

VALERIY SOKOLOV, Violin KATHRYN STOTT, Piano Saturday 14th March 2009
Banstead Arts Festival 2008

Bach – Sonata in A minor Schubert – Duo in A major Saint-Saëns – Rondo Capriccioso Prokofiev – 5 Melodies.

Great news that we have been able to re-schedule this concert after Valeriy was unable to play in February 2008!  He is already applauded as a highly talented violinist and is making an international reputation as both soloist and chamber musician.  Kathryn Stott is renowned throughout the world for her solo recitals and long-standing chamber music partnerships with such musicians as Yo-Yo Ma, Janine Jansen, Natalie Klein, and the Belcea, Skampa and Endellion Quartets.  She is a prolific recording artist and is currently a professor at the Royal Academy of Music and at Chetham’s School, Manchester.
