Durham University’s 2018-19 professional concert series will be opened by the Leonore Trio, offering a programme of iconic works, including Parry’s first piano trio, in celebration of the composer’s centenary. Our second concert is from the world-renowned Bozzini quartet, coming all the way from Canada to give us a wonderful programme of works ranging from the middle ages to the present, including a brand new commission from Durham composer James Weeks. We end the first half of the season with a concert dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Representation of the People Act. John Snijders, Head of Performance in the Music Department, will give a recital of works by women composers, including a selection of pieces by suffragette Dame Ethel Smyth.
