Violist Timothy Ridout and friends perform works by Mozart and Eric Coates in Belfast.

John Toal introduces Timothy Ridout and friends in performances of works by Mozart and Eric Coates at the CS Lewis Church in Belfast.

John Toal introduces the first of four recitals featuring recent graduate of the BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists scheme, the British viola player Timothy Ridout and friends.

They were recorded in St. Mark’s Church, Dundela in East Belfast: the church in which CW Lewis was baptised and where his grandfather was rector.

Timothy is one of the most sought-after violists of his generation and delivered some unique chamber music collaborations during his time with the Radio 3 scheme. Today he’s joined by four other starry string players – including his wife, the Taiwanese-born violist Ting-Ru Lai – and the South African pianist James Baillieu, for performances of works by Mozart and Eric Coates.
