To quote The Sunday Times 'A Quartet of Masters - their playing made the heart lift'. The Quartet's programme contains two masterpieces by the great Czech composers, Janacek and Dvorak, as well as one of Haydn's finest quartets. Quartet No 1 in D Op 25 Second Quartet Quartet in F Op 96 American The Music Serenade is a chamber ensemble of woodwind and string instrumentalists from the English Northern Philharmonia, the orchestra of Opera North. The group has given many recitals throughout Yorkshire, and has received high praise for both its sensitive and committed playing. The programme for this concert has as its centrepiece Dvorak's great serenade in D minor, one of his most attractive works. In the first half of the concert the Music Serenade will perform two strongly contrasted works: Nielsen's ironic *Serenade in vain' - one of the composer's most humorous pieces, and Krommer's richly inventive nonet, written at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Bryans Evans studied at the Royal College of Music with Kendall Taylor. Whilst at the College he won the Mozart prize, the Chopin prize and all the piano accompaniment and chamber music prizes. He plays frequently in all the major London concert halls as soloist and accompanist, and has made many broadcasts. The Alberni Quartet was formed at the Royal Academy of Music, and was coached in its early years by Sidney Griller. It received great encouragement from Benjamin Britten, who coached it in works both by himself and Shostakovich. Concert tours have taken the Alberni String Quartet to Western Europe, the Far East, Australia and the USA, where it was hailed by The New York Times as 'one of the half dozen finest string quartets in the world'. The Quartet's programme includes two twentieth century works with which it is especially associated, Britten's first quartet and Christopher Fox's Second Quartet which was commissioned by the BMS for the York Festival. The Dvorak American quartet will bring this concert to an exuberant close. Their programme extends from Purcell and the seventeenth century to the present day, and includes songs by masters of the form as varied as Schubert, Dvorak, Wolf and Ravel, and a new work by Edward McGuire, one of Scotland's most accessible younger composers.

British Music Society of York Following our enormously successful 1982/83 series of concerts, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our sixty-third season of Chamber Music concerts in York. This year each concert will contain a major work by the great Bohemian composer, Dvorak, whose vast output contains much exceptionally enjoyable music. Among the musicians playing for the Society this season will be two of England's best string quartets: the Lindsay and the Alberni. Both have received the highest praise at home and abroad, and we are delighted to welcome them again to York. I am sure the return of the distinguished French pianist Anne Queffelec will be relished by all who have enjoyed her superlative playing in the past, as well as those who have not yet had the good fortune to hear her. Our programme is completed by recitals from two of Yorkshire's most popular groups, the Leonardo Piano Trio and the Music Serenade, and the outstandingly gifted young baritone Stewart Buchanan. On behalf of my Committee I would like to thank all our members for their splendid support, and look forward to welcoming both them and many new members to the Society during this coming year. The advantages of membership of the Society are numerous, but above all it entitles each member to two free concerts, a saving of one third on the cost of individual tickets. We are most grateful for substantial financial assistance from the National Federation of Music Societies (with funds provided by the Arts Council of Great Britain), the Yorkshire Arts Association, and York City Council.
