LUNCHTIME CONCERT

1.05pm 13th July 2019

St Alfege Church, Greenwich Church Street, London SE10 9BJ

Scottish musicians Louise McMonagle and Neil Georgeson return to their roots in a programme for cello and piano exploring Scottish composers.

The programme includes John Maxwell Geddes, a wonderful man who aside from composition and academia devoted much time as conductor of the Glasgow School’s Symphony Orchestra. Mentor and enormous influence on a generation of Glasgow musicians, John sadly passed away in 2017. He is sorely missed, but leaves behind a legacy of music, and musicians.

Kenneth Leighton – Elegy (1980)

Martin Suckling – Three Venus Haikus (2009)

John Maxwell Geddes – Callanish IV (1974-6)

James MacMillan – Sonata no.1 for Cello & Piano (2000)
