About this event

Join us for a lunchtime treat of 20th century favourites and hidden gems for saxophone, flute and clarinet. Louisa Kataria brings her virtuoso versatility to this lunchtime concert - playing alto and soprano saxophone, flute and clarinet - in a vivid selection of music accompanied by pianist Joseph Cummings. Vivacious dance rhythms scintillate through this impressive array of instruments and music, including Milhaud’s lively Scaramouche , Piazzolla’s beguiling Histoire du Tango , and the uniquely American sound of Gershwin’s clarinet works. Enjoy the varied sounds and vibrant colours of this 20th century music, all in the beautiful English Renaissance setting of St Margaret's at Westminster Abbey.
