SONGS MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME

Pianist Christopher Duigan turns his hand to a beautiful selection of light classics that evokes a bygone world of nostalgia, often associated with salon music and evenings round the family piano. Duigan has entertained local audiences with numerous evenings of beautiful piano music from the classical and popular repertoire.

With an emphasis on elegance, ease, charm and grace this selection the programme features a highly appealing selection of popular light-classical melodies: Beethoven’s 'Minuet in G', Brahms’s 'Waltz in A-flat', Dvorak's ‘Humoresque',  Rubenstein's 'Melody in F' and 'The Maiden's Prayer'.  The popular evergreens  'Parade of the Tin Soldier’,  'Rustle of Spring’  and 'The Teddy Bear's Picnic' bring this delightful selection to a rousing close.
