This season promises to be the Sutton House Music Society's best ever with a feast of music-making alongside some culinary delights available from the cafe.  In 2010, London's friendliest music venue celebrates the anniversaries of Chopin, Schumann, Barber and Albéniz.

7pm Sunday 13th June 2010: Yoki Misumi (piano)

Those of you who came to hear the Fitzwilliam Quartet deliver the first of our Schumann birthday concerts will agree that it was a runaway success — fabulous music and standing room only!  The second of our special Schumann celebrations promises to be equally exciting. The young pianist Yoko Misumi from the Greenwich Trio who so delighted our audiences will be replacing Penelope Roskell who has a broken ankle and is therefore unable to play. Yoko is already acquiring a great reputation for her delicious Mozart, heroic Beethoven, romantic Chopin and vibrant Shostakovich. We are fortunate that, although she is on tour next week playing the Beethoven Triple Concerto, she has agreed to come and complete our Schumann series. She will be playing a wonderfully varied programme, perfect for a summer evening, and a celebratory bowl of strawberries and cream is included in the ticket. Details below:

Mozart               Nine Variations on a Minuet by M. Duport, K. 573
Chopin               Etudes in F major, Op. 10 No. 8; and E minor, Op. 25 No. 5
Paderewski       ‘Au soir’, Op. 10 No. 1; and ‘Scherzino’, Op. 10 No. 3
Takemitsu         ‘Rain Tree’ Sketch No. 2
Ravel                 Alborada del Gracioso
Schumann         Sonata in F sharp minor, Op. 11
