Events Calendar

The glorious sound of the trumpet, strings and piano will blend together again, as the popular Tottle Trio consisting of Cathy Irons (violin), Bruce Roberts (trumpet) and Grant Bartley (piano) return to perform in Queenstown.

This outstanding group is excited to perform a new work by Malcolm Dedman, especially written for them alongside an array of music; from Bernstein's West Side story, the glittery Vivaldi's Double Concerto for Trumpet and Violin (arr.), to the breathless Vaughan Williams' Lark Ascending. Bruce will display his versatility by playing the Corno di Cacia (hunting horn) in the brilliant Sperger Concerto.
