Trio Paradis (Jacquelyn Bevan - piano, Ruth O’Shea - violin & Linda Stocks - cello) play a Café Concert at the Athenaeum on the first Friday afternoon of each month at 3.00pm: informal music events in the community, with a pop-up café after the concert, serving home-made cakes, where you can meet friends for a chat after the concert (c3.45 - 4.15pm)
February’s concert is a collection of music by South American composers to bring some sun to dark winter days… including dances (Tango, Rumba and more), alongside classical and quieter, reflective pieces. Composers include Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, the king of Argentinian Tango, Astor Piazzolla, fellow Argentinian Magdalena Garcia Robson, Cuban brother and sister composers Ernestina and Ernesto Lecuona, Mexican Manuel Ponce and Carlos Guastavino, ‘the Schubert of the Pampas’.
Concerts last c45mins and entrance (or rather, exit!) is by donation, with a retiring collection.
