Oxford Philharmonic soloists lead us through an afternoon of chamber music featuring a captivating programme of intimate expression and vibrant melody. The concert opens with Lili Boulanger's D'un matin de printemps and D'un soir triste, two contrasting pieces that capture both the delicate freshness of morning and the introspective calm of evening. Clarke’s Morpheus for viola and piano then weaves a dreamlike landscape, rich in emotion. Vaughan Williams’s Phantasy Quintet follows, capturing an English pastoral spirit with warmth and intimacy. Closing the afternoon is Dvořák’s American Quartet, a lively homage to folk traditions with a joyful, lyrical energy.
