For the 2025 Beleura Season I have turned predominantly to the trio as an intimate vehicle for expressing the exciting interplay in great chamber music performance. The selected mixed instrument combinations and the way their sound is produced provides orchestral like timbrical variety and so these wind, string and percussion (piano) combinations will entertain us with some exciting programming and styles.
The wonderful Tallis Pavilion combined with the unique and inspiring Stewart and Sons pianos will be a perfect acoustic and setting to present these performances and on behalf of Beleura I look forward to welcoming you to this exciting series. Timothy Young
Richard Vaudrey
An ANAM alumnus and teacher, Richard is a trained classical cellist with a chamber music background and a passion for new music and has spent six years in New York on a variety of projects.
Beleura House is a place of great History, and History is the corner stone of our culture. We too easily focus on the past and forget that history is only created if we cherish our current culture.
The artists I’ve chosen this year are very much a part of our current culture, paving not only our national scene but also our local environment.
From powerful singing to virtuosic guitar, world class songwriting and musical satire from a national icon. All these artists will remind you why it feels so good to a be human with live music in your life. Richard Vaudrey
