A CONCERT will mark the start of Ulverston International Music Festival tomorrow.
Elegy - Schubert's 'Trout', offers a tonic for the past 18 months, with a reflective programme centred on Schubert's Trout Quintet.
The concert will take place at The Coro.
Concert organisers said: "Chamber music has always been at the heart of Ulverston International Music Festival. Close-up collaboration with a group of musicians is one of the most important aspects of music-making and one of the most enjoyable for audiences to watch. It has been sorely missed by both during the pandemic, so it seems fitting to return to live music on The Coro stage with this most intimate of musical genres."
The programme will open with a brief moment to reflect on the sense of loss of the last 18 months in Rachmaninov’s elegiac trio, before moving on to celebrate the solace nature has provided for many with Dvorak's 'Silent Woods'.
Bottesini's dazzling duo for bass and violin provides some much-needed, uplifting musical fireworks, before Schubert’s famous and ever-popular ‘Trout’ quintet should send you away in jolly and optimistic mood, in spite of an ironically-presented undertone of tragedy.
