Trio Paradis: Music by women composers at St Andrew’s

Trio Paradis (Jacquelyn Bevan – piano, Ruth O’Shea – violin & Linda Stocks – cello) play a Café Concert at St Andrew’s Church on the first Tuesday of each month at 11am: informal music events with music introduced by the performers. There is a pop-up café from 10.15am where you can meet friends and make new ones over tea/coffee and home-made cakes.

Our March concert, in celebration of International Women’s Day, consists of music by women composers, featuring Alice Verne-Bredt: Phantasie Trio, the sublime slow movement of Cécile Chaminade’s Trio no2, and Rosalind Ellicott’s Trio in D minor, alongside music by two ‘locals’: a scherzo by Bath composer Kate Loder and a concerto movement by Dora Bright who for many years lived at Babington House.

Concerts last c45m and entrance – or rather, exit! – is by donation, with a retiring collection. An RSVP via our website is much appreciated but not essential. Trio Paradis Cafe Concerts are ‘pay-what-you-feel’ via a retiring collection, to keep live music affordable for everyone. More information at www.trioparadis.com.
