#SymphonistOfTheWeek Gál's later cello music took on a special melancholy strain. Do I hear sadness that #ClassicalMusic was rushing to leave his kind of music behind? Or maybe it's just @mattdjsharp's wonderful playing with @kennethwoods @EnglishSymphon. spoti.fi/2G3FzQS

Last year's gig by ZRI with @mattdjsharp was a sell out. So don't delay, book today! Charlie Chaplin as you have never experienced him!
Don't miss Hertfordshire festival favourites ZRI at the Hertford Corn Exchange, 3 June! Part concert, part film screening with live score, matching the wit and virtuosity of Chaplin in his prime. Tickets on: ticketsource.co.uk/Hertfords…

Great to have the amazing ZRI @mattdjsharp back this year. Last year’s event sold out very very quickly so book now to avoid disappointment! 👇🏼👇🏼🎫
