Sound Salon

Set in the intimate and warm acoustic of St Vincent’s chapel, our autumn chamber music series celebrates duos and friendship through music. In October Chris Lyons and Emma Lloyd present a programme of piano and violin music, inspired by the famous nineteenth-century duo of Clara Schumann and Joseph Joachim. Violin duo Deux Mèches, currently based between Edinburgh and Paris, will take the stage in November with a dynamic programme including Judith Weir’s “for friendship”. To wrap up the first season of the Sound Salon, violin/cello duo Strata will perform in December with the ethereal and beautiful duo by Ravel. See below for more details and booking links.
