Programme
Northern Trio
Houldsworth Hall
1964

The first concert of the Northern Trio, made up of alumni of the Northern School of Music. A Guardian review notes that ”they were so bold as to begin their programme with the Archduke Trio, which is not only a great trio but also one of the supreme treasures in the whole range of chamber music.” It wasn’t perfectly done “but it was musically a perceptive performance, and technically secure apart from the occasional moment of dubious string intonation.” Remarked that “a new musical venture is always exciting, and a fresh ‘voice’ in Northern chamber music is extremely welcome.”
