Piano recital to start new Morpeth Music Society season
Morpeth Music Society will begin its 81st season with a piano recital on Thursday, October 15.
Sarah Beth Briggs has established a career as an in demand soloist and chamber musician – performing internationally, as well as making acclaimed recordings.
Her programme opens with six bagatelles by Beethoven, written in the same period as his iconic ninth symphony. In a similar classical vein, the next piece is a Haydn sonata followed by three dreamy preludes by the Austrian composer Hans Gál.
The second half of the concert in Morpeth Methodist Church, starting at 7.30pm, will continue with Debussy's Bergamasque suite. This includes the famous Clair de lune.
The final works of the programme will be in a romantic mood with a Chopin berceuse or lullaby and Mendelssohn’s Variations Sérieuses.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.morpeth-musoc.org.uk or at the Tourist Office at The Chantry, or at the door on the night if still available.
Entry is free to those aged 18 or under.
