Nicola Heywood-Thomas presents a selection of highlights from the 2022 Cowbridge Music Festival, set in the ancient market town of Cowbridge within the Vale of Glamorgan. Performed in the 13th-century Holy Cross Parish Church, today’s selection begins with Mozart’s sparkling Sonata for violin and piano in B flat, performed by the violinist Elena Urioste and pianist Tom Poster. Music by Bartók then follows, a selection of his works for solo piano presented by Llŷr Williams. The concert ends with the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective performing music by Fanny Hensel, her early Piano Quartet in A flat, Op 55. Artistic Director Rosalind Ventris describes this work as virtuosic, and challenging for the pianist.
