Programme
Professor Tamsin Edwards, renowned climate scientist and award-winning science communicator opens the festival’s final event. Tying in with the festival’s ‘nature in music’ theme, we look back to Beethoven’s landscape pre industrial revolution and consider what has happened since.

Internationally-acclaimed opera singer, soprano Anna Dennis joins the Rautio Piano Trio for a performance of Shostakovich’s Seven Romances. A deeply moving and powerful masterpiece, it was composed in the last years of the prolific composer’s life. A song cycle innovative in form and structure, the work is a homage to art, friendship and nature. The composer dedicated it to soprano Galina Vishnevskaya, Rostropovich’s wife, both of whom were close friends of Shostakovich.

Beethoven’s Op.70/2 piano trio opens with a gentle, intimate tone, remarkably inward and reflective. The overall character becomes lively and rounds off this year’s festival with a suitably jubilant and uplifting finale.
