José Sogorb, French horn
Éadaoin Copeland, piano

José Sogorb and Éadaoin Copeland present a horn and piano recital based around their recent album Mélodies Volées (Stolen Melodies). They will perform a colourful programme of works from outside the horn repertoire, ranging from works originally written for solo piano, cello, voice and piano to jazz standards and pop songs. The diverse collection of works in the concert’s programme reveal the versatility of the horn and the unique voice that it can bring to such repertoire.
