AUTUMN and winter Lunchtime Concerts at St David’s Hall, Cardiff have been announced and will start in September.

Winners of the 2014 Kenneth Loveland Gift award Emma Halnan and Daniel King Smith start the series in style on Tuesday, September 27, with a programme of Widor, Muczynski, Sir Karl Jenkins and York Bowen.

The flute and piano duo have performed together since 2008 and have entertained audiences at the Royal Festival Hall and across Europe.

Likewise, organist Paul Carr, on Tuesday, October 11, has established a growing reputation in the UK, France, Germany and even in the United States of America with recitals in Washington and Illinois.

Paul will perform classic pieces from JS Bach and Alfred Hollins amongst others.

To experience something a bit different, why not try the Contemporary Lunchtime Concert with the Smith Quartet on Saturday, October 22.

Violinists Ian Humphries and Rick Koster will share the stage with Nic Pendlebury on viola and cellist Deirdre Cooper for interpretations of Arvo Part and Philip Glass.

Supported by the Arts Council of Wales, the idea behind the Contemporary Lunchtime Concert series is simple – arrive at the Hall in time for the 1pm performance and pay what you feel is appropriate.
