Program Notes
The music of Béla Bartók has been celebrated across the world for over a century, with two of his most enduring compositions now arranged for trombone, trumpet and piano. Commissioned by the fantastic Trio Modern Harmony for the The House Concert July Festival, Allegro Barbaro and Suite, Op. 14 are both eager incorporations to the brass chamber repertoire!
