The first of our selection of recitals from the 2020 Belfast Music Society International Festival of Chamber Music, recorded in the Great Hall at Queen's University in Belfast. The Dudok Quartet open this week's Lunchtime Concert series with the third of Haydn's Opus 20 set of string quartets, a collection of works which would prove incredibly influential and give the composer the title 'Father of the String Quartet'. We then welcome the trio of flautist Adam Walker, viola player H茅l猫ne Cl茅ment and harpist Agn猫s Cl茅ment in a performance of Debussy's Trio for Flute, Harp and Viola. Originally intended as one of six chamber works, the composer only completed three. Of the trio, Debussy once asked if it "should move us to laughter or to tears. Perhaps both?"

To complete this first programme from the festival, we welcome the celebrated Venezuelan pianist, Gabriela Montero who performs selections from Chick Corea's Children's Songs.
