REGISTER

Trio Paradis (Jacquelyn Bevan - piano, Ruth O’Shea - violin & Linda Stocks - cello) play a Café Concert on the first Friday lunchtime of each month (Feb-Dec) at 12.30pm at St John’s Church, Midsomer Norton: informal music events in the community, with a pop-up café from midday where you can meet friends for a chat before the concert.

March’s concert is a collection of music by women composers to mark International Women’s Day (8th March). The programme includes the Phantasy Trio by Irish composer Joan Trimble, and works by Rosalind Ellicott, Elfrida Andrée, Adela Maddison,  Dora Pejacevic, Fanny Mendelssohn and Clara Schumann.

Concerts last c45mins and entrance (or rather, exit!) is by donation, with a retiring collection. Refreshments - tea, coffee & Rosemary's delicious home-made cakes - are on sale half an hour before the concert. There's no need to book, though an RVSP via our website is appreciated…turn up early for best choice of seat, and maybe bring a cushion for the pew.

ABOUT TRIO PARADIS
Trio Paradis - Jacquelyn Bevan (piano), Ruth O'Shea (violin) & Linda Stocks (cello) - are a classical piano trio based in Bath who perform Café Concerts at community venues across Somerset and Wiltshire: daytime concerts with a café where audience members can chat with friends and make new ones. We perform music in a variety of styles, brought together in a themed programme, and the atmosphere is informal and welcoming.  Our aim is to develop Friendship through Music.

We are passionate about bringing the music of female composers - and other under-performed composers - to a wider audience, and we include works by women in virtually every one of our concerts since Trio Paradis formed in 2009. Our March programme each year consists exclusively of music by female composers in celebration of International Women's Day.
