CLITHEROE Concert Society's theme of youth and experience in their 60th Season continued with a wonderful concert given by the Eblana String Trio with David Curington. Despite a bitterly cold evening, a good


sized audience enjoyed a very varied programme of music ranging from Bach and Mozart to Finzi, Britten and Moeran. The Trio, with oboist David Curington,

. were awarded the RNCM Ensemble of the year in 2010 and it was very easy to hear why! The Bach was a transcription of several


movements of his Three Part Invention, written originally as practice pieces for his son. Hearing them played by three instruments makes them, even more amazing in their original form for a single keyboard player. This was an attractive start to the concert. Mozart's Oboe Quartet came next, ■


a longer piece of music and one with fearsome technical challenges for the oboist, who has a prominent part throughout. Very Mozart, in the fullest and best understanding of the phrase, the sprightly first movement has all three instruments contributing ideas before a quiet conclusion. The middle movement is fairly short, but

spellbinding in the way the instruments interact, starting with the oboe playing high above the strings with long flowing lines of melody. The last movement rounds things off with its jaunty theme and ends with the strings playing in 6/8 time while the oboe plays in 4/4 time! A virtuosic piece of music, requiring equal virtuosity to play it. The popular British composer Gerald


Peggy Nolan, of the Eblana String Trio, and oboist David Curington in rehearsal for Clitheroe Concerts Society. Photo: Ken Geddes.


Finzi's Prelude and Fugue came next, a well-judged contrast in ^ le and sound. ■ It was Finzi's only chamber work and composed just before the outbreak of the Second World War. The final work before the interval vvas a


solo oboe piece: Britten's Metamorphoses after Ovid, giving a portrait in sound of Pan, Bacchus, Narcissus and Arethusa. This was both witty and entertaining and superbly played. The second half of the concert was


well judged with just two major works by British composers. First, continuing the "youth" theme, Benjamin Britain's "Phantasy Quartet", written when he was only 19 in 1932, given a superb performance. This starts very quietly, silence giving way to a muted cello, sounding as if heard from a distance,


but eventually joined by the other instruments. The final wiork was a string trio by


Ernest Moeran, written in 1931. He was a notable collector of folk music, collecting 150 songs in Norfolk and Suffolk alone. It's little surprise that his attractive music


coritains references to folk tunes and is rather lean in nature, in response to his dislike of Delius' music which he described as "Mush"! The first movement was lively and lyrical; the second movement rather bleak, possibly a response to his friend Peter Warlock's recent death; while the third movement returns to the lyrical, finally ends in wild jig, whirling to a conclusion. The audience's reaction was


■


highly enthusiastic. "Just wonderful", "superb evening", "brilliant playing!" were some of the comments. The quartet just caught the train back to Manchester and in response to e-rnailed thanks, Jonathan Martindale said: "There wasn't sufficient time to say how grateful we were for your hospitality, and also how


. much we enjoyed playing. I personally felt the room had a great 'feel' for chamber music with a good sound and intimate atmosphere, whilst also accommodating a good audience......" It is surely the perfect concert when both


audience and musicians come away with ' such good feelings. The Society's next concert will be on


Wednesday March 7th at 7-30 p.m. at the CRGS Sixth Form Centre on York Street when the Duo Teresa Carreno play Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov, followed by Piazzola, Villa-Lobos and Ginastera. Tickets can be obtained from Clitheroe Music, the Tourist Information Office, or at the door on the night. For details and on-line booking see: WWW. clitheroe. concerts, org/

Classic rock giants Nazareth set for The Grand


PROMOTING their new studio album Big Dogz, Nazareth, one of the true survivors of the UK rock scene, appear at The Grand on Thursday, March 15th. Led by the original lead singer Dan McCafferty


who has fronted the Scottish group since 1968, the band has just completed a tour of Brazil, where they are a household name. Now their attention turns to the UK where they


are embarking on an 11 -date tour to promote Big Dogz which is, incredibly, their 22nd album of a 40-year career in which they have sold over 60 million records worldwide. The band are perhaps best known for their


breakthrough albums, Razamanazz and Loud n Proud - (both 1973) and their chart-storming singles. Bad Bad Boy, Broken Down Angel, Love Hurts, My White Bicycle and their remarkable adaptation of Joni Mitchell's This Flight Tonight Since then the band have released a steady

' Said Nazareth founder member Pete Agnew of


their visit to Clitheroe: "Right from the veiy ^ r t , audiences the North West have always been


some of our most fervent fans. "The Grand has a great reputation we've


heard and I'm sure this is the first time we will have visited Clitheroe. Our friends at earMUSIC offered us the opportunity to mark some nevv territory with this new album and the 'Nazhounds' are delighted to be back among their pack. "We're straining at the leash to tour this


puppy. So get ready, because on 15th March, the Big Dogz gonna howl!" Nazareth appear at The Grand, courtesy of


stream of top-notch albums and retained a steadfast almost rabid fan base across the world. On their new album. Big Dogz, they have


returned to their roots, pure rock music with its rough edges, like it's straight from the '70s. Formed in 1968, Nazareth sprung from the ashes of a semi-professional local band, "The


Shadettes", eventually taking their name from the opening line from "The Weight" - the classic song by The Band. Releasing their first album in 1971, the band still features the gfavel- ■voiced Dan McCafferty and bassist Pete Agnew, alongside lead guitarist jimmy Mum’son and Lee Agnew who has more recently taken over the


Rock Artist Management. Tickets are £17.50 advance and door times are 7-30 p.m. (please note this time has changed since the event originally went on sale, at the band's request. To buy tickets, contact The Grand Box Office (01200 421599) or buy online at vvww. thegrandvenue.co.uk
