Music in Quiet Places - Florin Ensemble St Andrew’s Church, West Deeping


Music in Quiet Places - Florin Ensemble
Florin_Ensemble

Thursday 28 June 7.30pm

St Andrew’s Church, West Deeping


Florin Ensemble
Charles Mutter violin
Alistair Scahill viola
Catherine Rimer cello

Schubert        Trio in B flat D.471
Beethoven    Duo for viola and cello (Eyeglasses)
Francaix        String Trio in C
Beethoven    Serenade in D op.8

A perfect summer evening programme, from playful music by Beethoven to Francaix’s neo-classical trio performed by three leading string players.  The members of Florin Ensemble have strong chamber music backgrounds as well having diverse professional lives:  Charles as associate leader of the BBC Concert Orchestra, Alistair as one of London’s top freelance viola players and Catherine as guest continuo with leading ‘period’ orchestras. Drawing together these varied influences, Florin creates thought-provoking interpretations with a distinctive sense of common musicianship.
St Andrew’s enjoys an idyllic position in meadows beside a mill race in the River Welland.  Multicoloured Victorian tiles in the chancel contrast with the mellow stonework of the nave.  There is a notable early 14th century octagonal font and, the church’s crowning glory, a magnificent chandelier dated 1770.
