Noriko Ogawa (piano) & Madeleine Mitchell (violin) Duo

June, July 2010 Various

This fresh and inspiring Anglo-Japanese collaboration between two internationally renowned artists: violinist Madeleine Mitchell and pianist Noriko Ogawa will perform at UK festivals 2010 and 2011 and 2 intimate preview concerts this weekend in West Wales.

They intend to develop a new concept of the genre and to enhance their repertoire with related visual arts across borders. For example, Debussy expert Richard Langham Smith will give pre-concert talks exploring the Debussy-Takemitsu relationship in particular.

The Duo's coherent programming combines favorite classical violin sonatas with 20C pieces including Takemitsu and other Japanese contemporary composers. The series will include talks by artists and specialists, and master classes.
