Peasmarsh Chamber Music Festival

An Unbroken Chain

A meditative presentation of magical miniature gems, from 16th century music by English composers William Byrd and Thomas Tallis through to Valentin Silvestrov’s Hommage à JSB (Johann Sebastian Bach) which was written in 2009. Anton Webern’s 6-minute piece Variations is his only published work for solo piano and is known for its atmospheric effect. The works will be performed without a break.
