Jennifer Brown (clarinet) Harriet Davidson (cello) Claire Haslin (piano)
Jennifer, Harriet and Claire have performed together for over fifteen years. All three hail from Scotland. Last season’s programme of works by female composers – Clara Schumann, Farrenc, Tailleferre and Walker – was very well received by other Scottish music societies. In addition to their chamber music commitments, they each pursue busy and diverse freelance careers, including delivering workshops and masterclasses. Their Dunfermline programme will include Mozart’s Trio K498 in E flat major, Fauré’s Trio in D minor Op.120 and works by Nadia Boulanger and Germaine Tailleferre, but will start with the world premiere of As The Feet Of A Deer, commissioned from Scottish composer Helen Leach by the Trio Écossaise. Helen’s music is very beautiful and pastoral in style. You can hear works of hers similar to the new trio in the recently-released album at this link … and you’ll be able to purchase that album for £10 during the concert interval.
