WHAT better way is there to get away from the hustle and bustle of a busy day than by escaping to a relaxing Lunchtime Concert?
The new autumn and winter 2016 season at St David’s Hall offers a sensational selection of soothing shows that will provide the perfect chance to unwind amid the sounds of serene strings and piano keys.
Emma Halnan & Daniel King – Tuesday 27 September, 1pm
Winners of the 2014 Kenneth Loveland Gift award Emma Halnan and Daniel King Smith (Tuesday 27 September) start the series in style with a powerful programme of Widor, Muczynski, Sir Karl Jenkins and York Bowen. The supremely talented flute and piano duo have performed together since 2008 and have captivated audiences at the Royal Festival Hall and across Europe.
Paul Carr – Tuesday 11 October, 1pm
Likewise, acclaimed organist Paul Carr (Tuesday 11 October) has established a growing reputation in the UK, France, Germany and even in the United States of America with recitals in Washington and Illinois. Paul promises to deliver awe-inspiring performances of classic pieces from J.S. Bach and Alfred Hollins amongst others.
Yet if you want to experience something a bit different, why not try our Contemporary Lunchtime Concert with the Smith Quartet (Saturday 22 October)? Violinists Ian Humphries and Rick Koster will share the stage with Nic Pendlebury on viola and cellist Deirdre Cooper for exciting and innovative interpretations of Arvo Pärt and Philip Glass. Supported by the Arts Council of Wales, the idea behind the Contemporary Lunchtime Concert series is simple – arrive at the Hall in time for the 1pm performance and pay what you feel is appropriate – you may just love it!
