Chamber music – sometimes called “the music of friends” – requires a small number of performers with one player for each part (unlike an orchestra), small enough to play in a lounge or salon. The repertoire will range from baroque to movies, from Bach to Mission Impossible, and feature piano, strings and woodwind, performed by talented youngsters coached by professional musicians.

Gypsy Jazz – sometimes called “Hot-Club” – originated in France, with the two-fingered guitar of Django Reinhardt and the swing violin of Stephane Grapelli. The Salisbury Hot Club is a band of young professional musicians from the Guildhall who will take you for a swing through the joyous clubland of Paris between the wars.

The culminating highlight of the Twilight Music Festival will be the final concert performance, featuring Music from Around the World. Come and enjoy the children’s chamber groups and strings orchestra, joined by professional musicians and playing pieces from Britain, Germany, France, Russia, China, the Middle East, South America and Africa.

As part of its ongoing efforts to showcase local artists and performers, SEACC is proud to be hosting the Elia Do Mar Trio on Wednesday 30 August from 5pm.

Led by talented Elia Martins Alexandre, the trio will play a number of original compositions, alongside some familiar favourites.

Having discovered jazz listening to his father’s record collection,  Elia started as a self-taught musician and is now a student at the London Youth Conservatoire. He’s inspired by the great jazz pianists of the past, including Horace Silver, Sonny Clark, Herbie Hancock, Emmet Cohen, Bud Powell and Wynton Kelly.
