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

A concert of alluring music for flute and piano by British composers.  Lesser-known composer York Bowen is affectionately called ‘the English Rachmaninoff’ for his romantic style. The other pieces in this concert are programmatic – ‘Orange Dawn’ is a popular work with colourful special effects, ’In Ireland’ emulates street folk musicians, and ‘Trapeze’ was composed for Claire and Elspeth.

Ian Clarke – Orange Dawn

Joe Atkins – Trapeze

York Bowen – Sonata for flute & piano

Hamilton Harty – In Ireland
