SCHUBERT and Shostakovich battle it out for centre stage in a dramatic performance by The Music Of Renown Ensemble.

The ethereal fairy dust of Schubert’s Piano Trio in Eb major will take on the dark might of the brutal Piano Trio No 2 in E minor by Shostokovich at Swindon’s Arts Centre on Sunday at 3pm.

The ensemble is made up of Swindon’s own professional concert pianist Paul Turner who is director and founder of the Swindon Recital Series, Miranda Dale violinist and pianist, and cellist Caroline Dearnley.

The Swindon Recital Series was founded 19 years ago. Tickets for the Schubert v Shostokovitch concert are £12, seniors £10, students 15 to 18 years £2.50 and children under 14 years free from 01793 641837 or visit www.swindonrecitalseries.org.
