Join the Marsyas Trio in Leeds to celebrate the music of Thea Musgrave

The acclaimed Marsyas Trio invite you to join them as they celebrate the music of Thea Musgrave, at Leeds University, supported by the RPS Thea Musgrave Fund.

A public concert on Wednesday 29 April will showcase newly written works by Leeds School of Music composers, framed by chamber music of Thea Musgrave who approaches her centenary. This is the culmination of the Trio working with the composers over the year.

This follows a dedicated workshop day on the 28 April with students of Leeds School of Music and Leeds Conservatoire, exploring of Thea Musgrave's repertoire for small chamber ensemble, working side-by-side with students to engage the next generation of music-makers with Thea’s works, including Chamber Concerto No.2, Aria, Primavera, Taking Turns, and Orfeo V.

The performance and workshop are supported by the RPS Thea Musgrave Fund, which champions composers and performers dedicated to contemporary music. RPS Thea Musgrave Performance Grants help performers, ensembles, festivals and venues to put Thea’s music at the heart of their UK programming, and distinctively promote it to captivate audiences. We are grateful to composer Thea Musgrave and her husband, conductor Peter Mark, for their generous support of these grants, and to RPS Members, who make all of our charitable work possible.
