About Meera Maharaj, flute & Dominic Degavino, piano

We are delighted to welcome back Dominic Degavino, who played our first post-Covid recital in those stressful times of masks, social distancing, no intervals and track and trace.

We can expect a more closely-packed audience and relaxed atmosphere for this concert with brilliant flautist Meera Maharaj. Lyrical romantic sonatas by Hummel and Fauré will be followed by recent, but no less melodious, works by the Slovene composer Blaž Pucihar and by one of the rising stars of British music, Grace-Evangeline Mason - an evocative miniature that the duo premiered four years ago. Jazz improvisations on themes by Chick Corea and Geoff Eales will bring the afternoon to an exhilarating end.
