Bledlow Coffee Time Concerts: The Lyde Quartet Saturday 31st October, 11am – Holy Trinity Church, Bledlow
The Bledlow Coffee Time Concerts series is pleased to welcome the Lyde Quartet to Holy Trinity Church for a beautifully varied morning of chamber music. The ensemble — David Way and Maddy Thomas on violins, Mollie Koenigsberger on viola, and Heather Humphreys on cello — brings together four accomplished musicians who share a deep commitment to expressive, engaging performance.
Their programme opens with Bach’s Contrapunctus 18 from The Art of Fugue, a work of intricate counterpoint and quiet intensity. This is followed by Mozart’s dramatic Fantasia in F minor, K.608, a piece full of bold contrasts and striking harmonic colour. The quartet then offers Puccini’s Chrysanthemums, a short, tender elegy that showcases Puccini’s unmistakable melodic voice.
The concert concludes with Borodin’s Second String Quartet, performed complete with all four movements — from the noble Allegro moderato and lively Scherzo to the much loved Nocturne and the spirited final movement.
Join us at 11am on Saturday 31st October. Entrance £10 on the door. Come in, settle with a coffee, and enjoy an hour of splendid music making in the welcoming surroundings of Holy Trinity Church.
