Recital at Holy Trinity Centre The recital in Holy Trinity Church by the duo was satisfying and persuasive - but was witnessed by too few people. Christopher Blake (piano) and Ruth Bebb (viola and violin) call themselves "Orion Duo." Both English, living in Belfast and members of the Ulster Orchestra, they have been playing together for five years.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4There is a lack of interest in classical music in Carlingford as many in the peninsula have a poor understing of music. Myself and Marian are accomplished musicians on violin and piano respectively but cannot come to the area for certain reasons. However there is need for children to be taught music in more depth in the schools. I wonder how can this be achieved when most appointments are made by who you know rather then what you know? Or how great you are with the clergy etc?

The Orion Duo returned to Carlingford Heritage Centre to present a concert "Mostly Mozart" at 4.00 p.m. on a balmy early Autumn day 11 September 2005. Lovely music in the Cooley Peninsula - a place at peace with itself. At the same time it is impossible to forget the multitudes who have been unnecessarily dashed into eternity then and since the Twin Towers disaster which occurred four years ago on this day.
Program
Mozart
Sonata in B flat K454
Largo/Allegro
Andante
Allegretto
Beethoven
Variations on a theme by Mozart
INTERVAL
Mozart
Sonata in E minor K304
Allegro

4 Pieces for viola and piano
The encore was Brahms’ most famous Hungarian dance arranged for viola and piano. The Beethoven work featured piano and viola.
The concert went very well and the piano sounded very bright.
The calendar throws up two coincidences next year which is the 150th anniversary of Schumann’s death and also the 250th anniversary of the birth of Mozart.
The performers interspersed the program with narrative which was piquant and interesting and dialogue relating to the lives of Mozart and Schumann. Sounded good and gave an added dimension to the music.
;-) and its on high ground too.
