Two highly regarded British pianists and chamber musicians – Sarah Beth Briggs and James Lisney – combine their skills in this exciting piano duo combination. Their repertoire includes music from J.C. Bach to Hindemith but focuses most particularly on the great works of Mozart and Schubert, widely regarded as the pinnacle of the piano duet repertoire.

Friday 7th April at 7.30pm showcases the first in this new concert series to take place in the Music Society’s new home, St. Andrew’s Church at South Church, Bishop Auckland and will be an occasion not to be missed. Built almost entirely in the 13th century, Simon Jenkins in his seminal book on the parish churches of England, describes St. Andrew’s as ‘remarkable even in a region blessed with early Gothic buildings.) Tickets priced at £13.50 (£15 on the door) are available to advance purchase from Brotherton’s Music, Bishop Auckland or by contacting Brian Varley (01388) 606075. Season tickets, giving 5 concerts for the price of 4, are also available from Brian at £55.
