Nicola Heywood-Thomas with highlights from the 2022 Cowbridge Music Festival performed by LlÅ·r Williams, Elena Urioste, Tom Poster, Rosalind Ventris and Laura van der Heijden.
Nicola Heywood-Thomas presents a selection of highlights from the 2022 Cowbridge Music Festival, set in the ancient market town of Cowbridge within the Vale of Glamorgan. The concert begins with the pianist Llŷr Williams performing three works from Grieg’s Lyric Pieces, including the famous Wedding-Day at Troldhaugen. After this, we journey from Norway to Russia, with a depiction of a rural scene by Tchaikovsky, in his Dumka which he composed in 1885. The concert ends where this week of lunchtime concerts began, with music by Mozart, as the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective perform his sunny Piano Quartet No 2 which is full of lyrical melodies passed between the various instruments.
