Ben Goldscheider Duo

Virtuosic, lyrical Horn and Piano playing

Join us for an exciting evening discovering some of the most virtuosic works in the horn repertoire: music in turn that is technically challenging, melodically beautiful, lyrical and flamboyant. Ben Goldscheider, rising star of horn playing will be partnered on the piano by the accomplished and sensitive playing of Richard Uttley.
