Piano Works of Herbert Howells
28th February 2011 – 1pm

Newcastle Cathedral

Programme

A rare opportunity to hear some of the piano music written by Herbert Howells. Influenced by Rachmaninov, Debussy and Ravel, yet uniquely English, Howells’ music is amongst the finest written in the first half of the twentieth century.
