Sunday Concerts at Conway Hall: Geirþrúður Anna Guðmundsdóttir & Antoine Préat

About the Event

Icelandic cellist Geirþrúður Anna Guðmundsdóttir and French pianist Antoine Préat offer a wide‐ranging programme for their debut at Conway Hall. Schumann’s Fantasiestücke radiate warmth and intimacy, while Beethoven’s exuberant A major Sonata displays dialogue of equal partners. Nadia Boulanger’s Trois Pièces offer refined, introspective beauty Sibelius’s miniatures blend Nordic melancholy and charm and Grieg’s passionate A minor Sonata crowns the recital with sweeping Romantic fervour rooted in Norwegian song and dance.
