Description
We round off the 2025 Festival with a musical cornucopia encompassing well-known chamber masterworks by Beethoven and Dvořák as well as pieces to discover for the first time. Composer Rebecca Clarke premiered her work Morpheus for viola and piano at the Carnegie Hall in 1918 under the alias ‘Anthony Trent’, leading to it receiving notably (but perhaps predictably) more enthusiastic reviews compared to other works in the programme presented under her own name. You may be familiar with the name of Rudi Martinus van Dijk, a celebrated Dutch/Canadian composer who lived and is buried here in Peasmarsh. We are delighted to include his sonatina for solo piano in tonight’s programme.
