Talented teenage musicians to display their skills

Star students from the Purcell School in Bushey, Britain’s oldest specialist school for young musicians, will be presenting a programme of solo instrumental pieces and songs in a lunchtime recital. Some of the country’s most outstanding teenage musicians will perform in Rickmansworth on Wednesday, November 29. There will be music by Liszt, Mozart and Brahms, and lesser known composers such as the French-born American harpist Marcel Grandjany and England’s Jonathan Dove, a highly-respected composer of operas, choral works and film music. The students who will be performing at this month’s Three Rivers Music Society concert are Heather Brooks (harp), Sophia Jin (voice), Serguei Gonzalez Pavlova (violin), Ibai Pijoan Markaida (cello) and Bradley Ng (piano). The concert will be held at the Baptist Church in High Street, Rickmansworth WD3 1EH. It will begin at 1pm. Tickets available at the door or online (£5 members; £6 non-members).
