Clara Charlesworth - Flute
Anna Le Hair - Piano
Music inspired by Myth and Legend
Roussel: Joueurs de flute
Reinecke: Sonate "Undine"
Debussy: Syrinx
and works by Handel, Ian Clarke and Doppler
To highlight the stories associated with the
pieces Clara and Anna will be using the spoken and written word. This will
be a ravishing, light and varied programme full of character and emotion,
played by multi-prizewinning soloists.
Clara Charlesworth, a Guildhall College of Music graduate, strongly believes in the community value of music and its power to rest the mind and elevate the mood.
Anna Le Hair started playing the piano as soon as she could reach the keys. After winning many scholarships and prizes at Edinburgh University and subsequently at the Royal College of Music, she won a scholarship from the Austrian Institute to spend a summer studying piano accompaniment at the Mozarteum in Salzburg.
Since then, Anna has enjoyed a busy and varied career as pianist and piano teacher.
Engagements have included recitals, both solo and as chamber musician and accompanist,
in many London venues and others around Britain and abroad. She has twice played
Grieg's piano concerto with the Hertfordshire Philharmonia, also Mozart's concerto
no 21 and Rachmaninov's 2nd piano concerto with the same orchestra. Other recent
concerto performances include Beethoven no 3 and harpsichord in Bach's Brandenburg
concerto no. 5, both with the Buckingham Chamber Orchestra.
"To this concert the virtuoso pianist Anna Le Hair brought not only technical
skill of the highest order but also the artistry of one who lives for her music."
