Stephen Marquiss

Stephen Marquiss returns to the Frome Festival with this sumptuous celebration of piano music and a return to concert-going.

Scarlatti’s quirky, tuneful sonatas sit alongside Mozart’s beloved Variations on Ah, Vous Dirai-je, Maman (Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star). Scriabin’s Preludes Op. 16 are rapturous, melodious miniatures which complement Chopin’s tortured and ecstatic First Ballade. A selection of Chopin’s dazzling etudes, including the “Revolutionary”, conclude the concert with a flourish.

Wine and soft drinks afterwards.
