More On Selby&Friends At Home

Selby&Friends are delighted to announce that Beethoven’s Triple Concerto is now available on the Selby&Friends YouTube channel Selby&Friends at Home.

Pianist and founding artistic director, Kathryn Selby says “A few years ago I presented a program entitled ‘By Arrangement’ which featured Beethoven’s Triple Concerto in an extraordinary arrangement for piano trio by Carl Reinecke with friends Andrew Haveron and Timo-Veikko Valve (Tipi). It was one of the most enjoyable experiences and to warm you up for our upcoming all-Beethoven feast Beethoven’s Ghost to celebrate his 250th birthday, I thought this might be an appropriate inclusion in our series of Selby&Friends at Home.”
