Lunchtime Recital 3rd March 2023 – Hiu Lam Lo (clarinet) and Phoebe Long-Ching Yu (piano)

What a pleasure to have Phoebe and Hiu play for us today. We’ve had a number of violin, and cello recitals but I think this is the first time we’ve had a clarinet concert and been able to listen up close. And with Hui playing it was a real experience – the range depth and tone were magnificent. (we had one clarinet player amongst our audience eating his heart out to be able to play like that).

The programme was well chosen, if largely unfamiliar for us, but it was great to be introduced to some new musical vistas.

1.  Pierre-Max Dubois – Romance

2. Camille Saint-Saëns – Sonate pour Clarinette et Piano
3. Henri Rabaud – Solo de Concours
4. Francis Poulenc – Sonate pour Clarinette et Piano
5. Jules Semler-Collery – Rêverie et Scherzo

We hope to see more of them and I think they’ll be happy to come again in the future.
