A flute and piano recital will take centre stage.
Salisbury Chamber Music Club’s recital by flautist Dr Lis Lewis and pianist Karen Kingsley will take place on Saturday, September 26, at 7.30pm.
The concert will take place at the United Reformed Church on Fisherton Street in Salisbury.
Dr Lewis trained at Chetham’s School of Music and the Royal Academy of Music, earning the flute prize and a Countess of Munster award during her studies.
She has performed professionally with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and at major venues across London.
Her chamber music experience spans solo recitals and performances of early 20th-century and contemporary works on flute, piccolo and alto flute.
Dr Lewis has taught at a range of independent schools and held a full-time post at St Swithun’s School in Winchester, where she conducted large ensembles and developed flute groups, a brass section and a jazz band.
She recently completed a PhD at Goldsmiths College, University of London, focusing on performance aesthetics within the English flute tradition.
Dr Lewis now teaches both online and from her studio in Winchester and regularly runs workshops and concerts aimed at those returning to flute playing after a break.
Her recital partner, Karen Kingsley, studied piano under Jean Harvey at the Royal Academy of Music.
Ms Kingsley has performed concertos by composers including Beethoven, Chopin, Grieg, Mozart and Rachmaninov, and has a particular passion for chamber music.
She is a member of the Monington Duo with clarinettist Robert Blanken and performs with the Dunwald Ensemble.
Ms Kingsley has enjoyed long-standing collaborations with string players and vocalists and spent many years as an accompanist at Southampton University.
