Free Lunchtime Concert
Emmanuel United Reformed Church
The Devas Trio (violin, cello and piano) was formed at the Royal Manchester College of Music (predecessor to the Royal Northern College of Music). A recurring comment from their engagements is always that the trio's long association produces a deeply intuitive rapport both in ensemble and interpretation.

Their programme:
Malcolm Arnold: Trio Op 54
Dvorak Trio in F Minor Op.65

All welcome - there will be a retiring collection

Haydn String Quartet Op. 74 No.3 (The Rider)
Lekeu Méditation in G minor
Mendelssohn String Quartet No 3 in A major Op.13

The Ardeo String Quartet are the latest in the Festival's long tradition of introducing young French string quartets to England, and their performance will surely be as memorable as those before them. These four young musicians met in string quartet class at the Paris Conservatoire and their quartet is named after the Latin word for passion. Prizewinners in the last Melbourne International Competition, they play two wonderful classics of the repertoire around a beautiful work by the Romantic French composer, Guillaume Lekeu, who died at the age of only tweny-three after composing about fifty pieces.
