First in a series of three hour-long concerts at The Forge, celebrating an array of 20th-century duos and trios.

This concert of French music showcases the ensemble’s passion for programming. Two much-admired duo works, Poulenc’s flute sonata and Debussy’s cello sonata, are complemented with two trios that have been highly-popular with previous audiences – a set of impressionistic watercolours by Gaubert, and a light-hearted dance suite by Damase.

Philippe Gaubert – Trois Aquarelles

Francis Poulenc – Sonata for flute and piano

Claude Debussy – Sonata for cello and piano

Jean Michel-Damase – Sonate-en-concert
