Classical Music performed with aplomb

First Friday Concert

Following the success of the First Friday concert on the 1st October, featuring 'The Dirty Blues Band', Castlereagh Arts proudly presented the second concert of the Autumn afternoon series on the 5th of November. This time we were treated to some classical music, with international concert pianist Robin Colvill performing popular piano classics.

Robin made a welcome return for the 3rd time in as many years enchanting the audience with music by Mozart, Schubert, Brahms, Chopin and Puccini among the others.

Frightfully fast fingers

The musician entertained the listeners, not only with his music but also with his words, explaining the beauty, harmony and background of the music, and interspersing the mesmeric melodies with anecdotes on his travels; playing music to thousands in Cuba on a piano the size of a tank was a particular highlight.

The next First Friday concert will take place on 4th February, write it down on your 2011 calendar!
