Works by Tintern composer Fiona Frank premiered in the UK in summer 2019

The Trio Arcadia di Roma premiered Fiona Frank’s piano trio, 'Reflections on Motherhood', in Rome in February 2019. Since then, they have performed it in Milan, Mantova, Pisa, Verona, Firenze and Pescara, and came to the UK with a special programme including this and two more of her pieces. Her music is passionate and filled with great sweeping melody and appeals to all kinds of music lovers, classical or otherwise. Her influences are wide, including jazz, classical, world, folk idioms etc. The music takes the listener on a journey and is very visual and poetic.

Trio Arcadia di Roma performed these pieces as part of a programme featuring her works in a concert on Saturday 27^th July in St Paul's church in Clifton, Bristol, and on Tuesday 30^th July at 7pm at St Mary's Church, Monmouth as part of the Monmouth Festival.

The Trio Arcadia di Roma is comprised of Laura Bianco (violin), Francesco Vignanelli (‘cello) and Margherita Sussarellu (piano). They bring great musical intensity and exciting Italian passion to this expressive style of writing. The programme also includes works for violin and piano ('Rainy Autumn Day') and 'cello and piano ('Bluebells').

'In Memoriam' for oboe quartet (which was given its world premiere at Teatro Lirico, Cagliari, on the International day marking the Elimination of violence against Women, by the amazing 'Ensemble Trame Sonore' ) was included as part of a programme being toured around Wales by the St Woolos Ensemble in three successive concerts, with a concert on Saturday 6^th July in St Woolos Cathedral, Newport and Saturday 25^th August 2019: Ebenezer Chapel, Newport, Pembrokeshire. The players are Huw Griffiths (oboe), Christoph Madler (violin), James Drummond (viola), Sonia Hammond ('cello) and Christopher Williams (piano). The concert also included a selection of Bach’s Goldberg Variations transcribed for String Trio, Mozart’s Oboe Quartet K370, and Mozart’s Piano Quartet No.1 K478.
