Lancaster Arts Classical Concert - The Musical Sigh: From Brahms to Pärt

Dates: 05 Nov 2020 - 05 Nov 2020

Location: The Lancaster Priory

It’s true to say that being able to play classical music is an acquired taste. But if 2020 was a piece of classical music it would probably begin with  melancholic violins progressing into thundering piano pieces. 
 
The Lancaster Priory has been fortunate to host covid-19 safe classical concerts thanks to Lancaster Arts. 
 
The next spellbinding performance takes place on Thursday 5th November 7.30pm - 9pm entitled :- “The Musical Sigh: From Brahms to Pärt”.
 
It will interpret pieces by Arvo Pärt, Jean Sibelius, and Johannes Brahms composed by professional musicians Samuel Staples on violin and Jonathon Ferrucci on piano. 
 
Their credentials cover the following:-

  • Winner of the Jaques Samuel Competition at Wigmore Hall.
  • Played recitals in the Barbican Hall in London and Carnegie Hall in New York and throughout Europe.
  • Staples has  performed across the UK and Europe 
  • Performed at the Sejong International Festival in Korea.
