Saturday 15th March
Elena Urioste (violin) and Tom Poster (piano)
St Nicholas Church, Stevenage 7.30 pm
Elena is a musician, yogi, writer, and entrepreneur. As a violinist, she has given acclaimed solo performances with major orchestras throughout the world.
Tom's skills and passions extend well beyond the conventional role of the concert pianist. He has been described as “a marvel, [who] can play anything in any style” (The Herald), “mercurially brilliant” (The Strad), and as having “a beautiful tone that you can sink into like a pile of cushions” (BBC Music).
Elena and Tom's #UriPosteJukeBox lifted spirits during the 2020 lockdown, as the duo shared 88 daily videos of listeners’ requests, earning them the Royal Philharmonic Society's Inspiration Award, as well as a BBC Music Magazine Award for their subsequent The Jukebox Album.

Pavel Ralev (guitar)
Holy Trinity Church, Weston 7.30pm
Described by John Williams as “a poet of the guitar”, the London-based Bulgarian classical guitarist Pavel Ralev is establishing a strong presence on the international concert platform. In 2023, he was conferred as an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music, London, in recognition of his “significant contribution” to the music profession.

Anne Page (Organ)
Holy Trinity Church, Weston 7.30 pm
Anne Page is well known to audiences in the UK and abroad as an organist of great virtuosity, integrity and musicianship. She made her London debut at the Royal Festival Hall playing 20th century masterpieces, and an international recital career followed. During 2011/12 she performed the complete organ works of Bach on 14 instruments in 11 chapels and churches.
We are hoping that Anne will do an afternoon masterclass, followed by an evening concert in which she will demonstrate the full potential of our small organ in Holy Trinity Church.
