Welcome to SASRA Music & Arts 2010 - 2011
SASRA Music & Arts have been promoting classical music
concerts since the early 1950's, the programme of concerts we have
arranged for the 2010-2011 Season will be our 57th consecutive
year.
Programme Preview September 2010 to March 2011
We are delighted to present locally yet another season of high
quality classical music at reasonable prices. This year will
be the fifth occasion we have been part of the 'Orchestra Live'
Cumbria Concert Series, in conjunction with four other music
societies in the County. The Northern Chamber Orchestra,
directed by Nicholas Ward, who gave our first concert in 2006, will
be joined by the accomplished pianist Martin Roscoe, who has also
played for SASRA Music & Arts before.
The Berkley Ensemble (violins, viola, cello, clarinet, bassoon
and horn) start off the season with an attractive programme which
includes Beethoven's tuneful Septet. In the third concert in
this varied season, we welcome five brass players (two trumpets,
trombone, tuba and horn) from the North East - Prince Bishop's
Brass. Their concert will consist of a wide variety of styles
and pieces and there will be two original works for brass
quintet.
Sam Haywood is another 'old' friend of the Society and he
returns with Arisa Fujita and Richard bayliss, who are also known
to our audiences in a programme which contains Brahms' wonderful
Horn Trio.
It is always a pleasure to hear pupils from Chetham's Music
School in Manchester. We don't yet know who the performers
are or what they will be playing, but we can be assured of an
inspiring concert by a group of talented young people.
The Atrium are a superb string quartet who gave a brilliant
recital for Cockermouth Music Society last season and are highly
recommended.
