"...dazzlingly good chamber ensemble…
exuberantly expressive, intimate style…
gorgeously idiomatic playing’ The Times

The Forge, new venue in N London
clarinet and piano with guest artist Ann Mackay, soprano


Kathron Sturrock and Julian Farrell join forces with soprano Ann Mackay for a short recital, starting appropriately with Purcell's 'Music for a While', and finishing with Schubert's delectable 'Shepherd on the Rock'. At the heart of the programme, works by Finzi and Lutoslawski for clarinet and piano embrace songs by Mozart and Strauss: Ann Mackay, early in her career, appeared in Elisabeth Schwarzkopf's classes, where Kathron was the regular accompanist...these songs bring back to them wonderful memories of working with 'Madame'.
