Radio 3 New Generation Artists the Mithras Trio play works by McDowall and Dvořák.

Radio 3 New Generation Artists the Mithras Trio perform works by Cecilia McDowall, Frank Bridge and Dvořák's folk-inspired Trio No 4 in E minor, Op 90, ‘Dumky’.

In today's visit to the Pittville Pump Room, Radio 3 New Generation Artists the Mithras Trio make a welcome return to the Cheltenham Music Festival. They open their programme with Cecilia McDowall's lyrical response to the song of the nightingale which, at its centre, contains a reference to the opening of the Cavatina movement of Beethoven's Op 130 String Quartet. They conclude with Dvořák's colourful, folk inspired piano trio, popularly known as "Dumky" after the Ukrainian or Slavic dance form. 

Presented by Ian Skelly
