Recital will kickstart concert series for piano fund

IT’S not every day you can listen to a piano recital by three members of one family.
But on Saturday, January 28, concert pianists Murray McLachlan and his wife Kathryn Page, with one of their sons, Callum, an outstanding student at Chethams specialist music school in Manchester,  will be performing at the first in a series of concerts aiming to help raise funds for a replacement baby grand for The Witham.
In their programme they will be playing Ravel’s Mother Goose suite and a sonata by Poulenc, plus transcriptions by Murray which will include the slow movement of Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto no 1, the finale of Mozart’s Piano Concerto no 19 in F, and works by Grainger and Stevenson.
The performance takes place in Barnard Castle Methodist Church.
The show starts at 7.30pm and admission is £10 on the door with a special concession of £2 for under-18s.
Tea and coffee is included in the price.
