Christmas Concert
Christina and Marcus are thrilled to be able to share their Christmas 2020 concert from the magnificent Caird Hall Dundee. It was a privilege to be able to play the hall’s world-class new Steinway piano. It’s always thrilling to walk onto the Caird Hall stage, but to do so during this year of global shutdown was a particular joy.

The concert went live on YouTube on Sunday 13th December. Due to the Kreisler being in copyright it could only remain available to view until 31st December. A version without the Kreisler can be viewed here.
The programme included Kreisler, J. S. Bach, Vivaldi’s “Winter” from “The Four Seasons, Beethoven, Liszt, Schumann, some Scottish tunes, and a Christmas Carol medley arranged by Marcus and featuring our little girl.
UPDATE
Heartfelt thanks to all who tuned in for our concert last week. We are so touched by the lovely messages we have received from near and far. I will collate them soon. In the meantime, here are 2 of them. “Your recital last Sunday was an absolute joy and such a symbol of hope in these difficult times” “Thank you so much for treating us to this wonderful music. It is wonderful to be able to hear such a professional performance and a real tonic in a frightening time”A lovely article in The Dundee Courier about the concert:At this time of isolation and lockdown, we all need some comfort, and a sense of connection. Please keep sending messages, feedback and questions!Due to Covid19, concert halls all over the world are shutting down.
Christina Lawrie and her violinist husband Marcus Barcham-Stevens (Scottish Chamber Orchestra Principal 2nd Violin, Co-leader, Britten Sinfonia) want to keep the music going, and will broadcast regular concert of violin and piano music from their living room.
