Piano Finals: Northern Europe and Russia

Day 4 will commence with the Con Brio Vocal Ensemble singing two a cappella hymns by Britten and Pärt. Piano Finals will follow. After an intermezzo by Grieg for the cello and piano, a miniature violin-cello duet composed by Sibelius at 10, titled ‘Water Droplets’, will be presented. Up next, a performance of Rachmaninoff’s Trio Élégiaque—a piece he composed at the age of 17 while mourning the demise of his mentor Tchaikovsky. Selections from Britten’s ‘On This Island’ for tenor and piano, and Williams’s ‘Songs of Travel’ for baritone and piano will follow. The festival will conclude with a thrilling finale.
