Thursday June 2nd features Duo Armande.

Duo Armande enjoy exploring the repertoire for the unusual combination of both clarinet and violin and clarinet and viola.
Their discoveries into this repertoire have led them to a variety of works ranging from Bruch's wellknown and beautiful Clarinet and Viola Concerto to the delightful but lesser known music of Busch, Jacob, Hindemith and Rebecca Clarke. The repertoire also includes arrangements of works by better-known composers such as Mozart's Sonata and Beethoven's 3 Duos originally for Clarinet and Bassoon. Claire and Shulah also have an eclectic selection of popular classics and folksongs. The Duo are actively involved with education and outreach work, and are committed
to making music accessible to the community. Their programme for the evening will feature music from around the world, popular classics and folk music.
