Original Rags
At The Old School, Stoke Climsland


Original Rags are always a delight, which is why they are asked back by acclaim each year.  Steve Graham is a highly acclaimed musician fluent on both trumpet and mandolin, while Mike Denham is a fine solo pianist and (occasional) exponent of the Swannee whistle!  Their concerts feature classic ragtime, including popular melodies by Fats Waller and Irving Berlin, eight-to-the-bar boogie-woogie by Meade Lux Lewis and Albert Ammons, and the jazz of Armstrong and Bix Beiderbecke - all mixed with interesting and entertaining anecdotes about these figures and the colourful lives they led.  They always prepare immaculately, and will have a brand new programme for us again this year.

Arrive 7.00 for a 7.30pm start
Tickets £10 (advance booking only)
Dinner in the interval for £6, bar available

After holding a lively master class for the young musicians of Callington Community College the Trio went on to deliver a varied and enjoyable concert at a candlelit evening at The Old School, entertaining our members beautifully, with great musicianship and good humour. 

By all accounts a wonderful evening and, as several long time members told us, "possibly the most enjoyable Chamber Music evening we have had since the Classical Club started several years ago". 

First prize winners in the 2009 Royal Over-seas League Competition, the Solstice String Quartet is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the most talented young quartets in the country. Selected by both the Tillett Trust and Park Lane Group in 2008 the quartet made their debuts at the Wigmore Hall and Purcell Room in 2009. Established whilst studying at the Cambridge University in 2003, they held a Junior Fellowship at the Instituto Internacional de Música de Cámara de Madrid in 2008-9 where they studied every month with Prof. Günter Pichler of the Alban Berg Quartet. They have been awarded the Leverhulme Chamber Music Fellowship at the Royal Academy of Music from September 2009.
