The Westerly Trio

The Westerly Trio are back for an afternoon of flute, violin and piano! The Westerly trio was formed in 2021 and was the result of three good friends and colleagues deciding to get together to explore the delightful and extensive repertoire for violin, flute and piano. The name ‘Westerly’ was thought of because two of the group own sailing yachts built by the legendary Westerly boatbuilders, and all three members of the group are keen sailors. In the time that Rachel Jessica and David have been together they have managed to explore a large amount of the repertoire available but are still finding new pieces to play all the time, with programmes including works by well known composers such as Bach, Quantz, Ibert and Martinu, and lesser known works by composers such as Melanie Bonis and Cesar Cui. They have given concerts throughout the North East, in St Mary’s Monkseaton, The Old Low Light in North Shields, Elsdon Avenue Church in Seaton Delaval and at Northumbria University. https://westerlytrio.co.uk/About.html
