Chineke! Chamber Ensemble is delighted to return to St George’s Bristol for an intimate programme of pieces by Florence B. Price, Vaughan Williams and Schubert.
Florence B Price Two Folksongs in Counterpoint: Drink to me with thine own eyes and Shortnin’ Bread
Vaughan Williams Piano Quintet in C minor
Schubert Piano Quintet in A, D667 (Trout)
