Jayne Walker(violin)-Steven Halls(cello)
performed
at a lunchtime concert
on Thursday July 8th
The one-hour recital by English National Opera violinist Jayne Walker and cellist
Steven Halls was the first event that Three Rivers Music Society had staged since
the initial Covid-19 lockdown began in England in March 2020.
The programme included a duet by Beethoven's teacher, Johann Albrechtsberger,
and the first public performance of a new work, Lento Cantabile, composed by David Halls,
director of music at Salisbury Cathedral.
The younger brother of Steven Halls attracted international media attention earlier this
year after a mass vaccination centre was set up in the 800-year-old cathedral. As people
queued for their jabs, David Halls soothed their nerves by playing organ music by Bach and Handel -
and a little Rodgers and Hammerstein.
