Northern Chords: The North East Chamber Music Festival

St Andrew’s Church
Corbridge

Saturday 20 March 2010, 7.30pm

The Saxon Tower of St Andrew’s was built in 774 on the command of Saint Wilfred, responsible also for the building of last year’s Northern Chords concert host Hexham Abbey. By the fourteenth century an entire church building was added to the early tower and arch, using stones marauded from the Roman camp of Corstopitum.

With elements of Saxon, Roman and Norman architecture, this church was once an outpost for Saint Wilfred’s monks, and is now a hub of the local community. On Saturday 20 March, Northern Chords brings vaulting chamber music to the proud arches of St Andrew’s.

The concert, beginning at 7.30pm, is likely to include*:
J.S. Bach – tbc

A brand-new commission exclusively for Northern Chords

F. Schubert – tbc

F. Schubert – String Quintet in C, D.956
Violin, viola and cello

*N.B. All concert programmes are provisional, and subject to change at any time.
