Hazlewood School’s
Bawtree Hall will host
an evening of exquisite
classical music on
Saturday 12 July,
presented by the Oxted &
Limpsfield Music Society.
Two outstanding young
musicians—cellist Kosta
Popović and pianist Luke
Lally Maguire, both from
London’s Guildhall School
of Music and Drama—
will perform a diverse
programme from Bach
to Britten. This is a rare chance to experience world-class music in an
intimate local setting.
Montenegrin-born Popović, a former Whitgift scholar and Guildhall
postgraduate, has already graced stages such as Wigmore Hall and BBC
Radio 3, and performs regularly with ensembles like the Academy of
Ancient Music. Dublin-born Lally Maguire, a prize-winning soloist and
chamber musician, has recently completed his Artist Diploma and is also
celebrated for his work with the award-winning Trio Casella.
Their programme features Bach’s timeless Sonata for Viola da Gamba,
Walker’s soulful Cello Sonata, and works by Debussy, de Falla, Dvořák,
and Britten — a sweeping tour through some of the cello repertoire’s
most expressive and captivating compositions. Time: 7:00 PM Venue:
