Coming up soon: MUSIC FOR TWO PIANOS performed by Richard and Rupert Jeffcoat at the New Music Room at Rugby School.
Rachmaninoff’s technically complex second piano suite was one of the first pieces he wrote after a three year depression following the poor reception of his First Symphony in 1898. John Adams' Hallelujah Junction, named after a truck-stop on the California-Nevada border, features "short, highly rhythmicized motives bouncing back and forth between the two pianos". Saint-Saëns’ piano music, while not as deep or as challenging as that of some of his contemporaries, occupies the stylistic ground between his great friend Liszt and Ravel.
This is a rare opportunity to hear some fine music for two pianos performed by two gifted brothers. The concert is open to all, admission just £7, further information from 024 7659 4916.
