Late English Summer – Clarinet and Piano recital

Set within the atmospheric space of Framlingham Church, this expressive programme for piano and clarinet is a radiant celebration of home-grown musical brilliance, from Malcolm Arnold to Herbert Howells.

We regret to inform you that this concert has been postponed from 22 August due to a medical issue affecting one of the performers. The concert will now take place on Sunday 18th October at 2pm and all previously purchased tickets will remain valid for the new date. Should this date be unsuitable, ticket holders are entitled to a full refund, please contact us to arrange this. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.

Clarinettist James Meldrum and pianist Maciej Kassak present this vibrant collaboration which celebrates the rich, characterful sound-world of 20th century England. There’s sparkling wit in Arnold’s Sonatina and the lyrical intimacy of Finzi’s Five Bagatelles, while John Ireland’s evocative Fantasy adds sweeping romantic colour. The concert closes with Herbert Howell’s emotionally resonant Sonata and with the irresistibly charming Sonatina by Horovitz.
