ANTON ARENSKY Suite No.1. Op.15
FRANCIS POTT Tandem
CALVIN LEUNG piano
HARRISON COLE piano
This instalment of the Lunchtime Concert series is a two-piano interplay. Calvin Leung and Harrison Cole play Anton Arensky’s Suite No.1, Op.15 and Tandem by Francis Pott.
Arensky’s Suite No. 1, Op. 15, written in 1888, paints a vivid picture of Tsarist Russia’s opulence and elegance. Its deceptively simple yet enchanting tunes in the Romance and the Valse are adorned with graceful arabesques and virtuosic embellishments, a testament to Arensky’s craftsmanship.
Pott’s Tandem unfolds in three moving movements, each a tribute to resilience and remembrance. From an expansive sonata-form Allegro to the elegiac Adagietto and an energetic tarantella-style finale (Vivo), each note echoes heartfelt tributes. The poignant Adagietto honours Timothy Pride, a friend of Pott, and a cherished musician and community stalwart lost during the pandemic.
The Cambridge University Lunchtime Concert series offers a vibrant stage for students and local performers. Open to the public every Tuesday during the University of Cambridge term, these free concerts are well attended. CULCs are curated by a student committee and supported by the Centre for Music Performance.
Free admission with retiring donations gratefully received.
