THE second part of the Peter Gould Music Trust's 15th anniversary celebrations will be in the virtuosic hands of the pianist Florian Mitrea at Cardigan’s Theatr Mwldan on Sunday, March 18 (3pm).

Double-laureate at both the 2015 Hamamatsu and 2014 ARD international competitions, Romanian-born British pianist Florian was a prize-winner at the 2016 RNCM’s James Mottram and Verona international competitions, too.

Florian will start the recital with Haydn’s Sonata in E flat major, the last and probably greatest sonata from one of the foremost classical composers.

Next, the D784 sonata is seen by many to herald a new era in Schubert's output for the piano, and to be a profound and sometimes almost obsessively tragic work, while Rachmaninov’s beautiful Prelude in b minor is a poetic view inspired by 19th century art, painted in lush chords.

He will round the recital off with Prokofiev’s Sonata in A major. There are many who assert that this is the jewel of the so-called ‘War Sonata’ trilogy. The Sixth is epic and dramatic with a deep expressive range and the writing being both dynamic and colourful.

Florian has played with the Philharmonia in London, Collegium Musicum in Basel, and George Enescu Philharmonic in Bucharest. He is also a highly-experienced chamber musician.

BBC Radio 3 have recently broadcast his Dartington-Festival recital with violinist Chloë Hanslip. This recital will provide a luxurious showcase of some of the greatest composers of piano music.

Tickets are priced at £10 (£1 under 22) and are available from Theatr Mwldan box office.

The gifted and critically acclaimed young violinist Emmanuel Bach, with piano accompaniment by Kumi Matsuo, will put the finishing touch to this season of celebration on Sunday, April 22. He will be playing a programme that includes Enescu, Beethoven and others.
