Dexterity Trio at St. Peter Mancroft Church

On Saturday 29th June 2013 I attended the Dexterity Trio Summer Recital at St. Peter Mancroft Church, Norwich which was the last in this season's Mancroft Music Summer Recital Series. The Dexterity Trio are Anna Hopkins - flute, Maja Passchier - cello and David Morgan - piano.

Anna Hopkins studied for four years at the Royal College of Music. She is a private and peripatetic flute teacher and is also an examiner for London's Trinity College. Maja Passchier studied cello at the Utrecht Conservatoire. She now lives in Norwich and teaches cello in schools and privately. David Morgan was a lecturer of music at Norwich City College and he was Organist at St. Edmunds, Acle.

The programme consisted of Trio No.28 in D major - Haydn, Trio Op.36 - Steel and Trio on English Folk Songs - Rowley. They were due to play Sonate en Concert - Damase but played pieces by Elgar, Faure and Mendelssohn instead. The Dexterity Trio told us they would play Sonate en Concert at a later date.

This was a wonderful recital at St. Peter Mancroft Church which proved to be a fantastic finish to this Summer's Recital Series. This has been another successful series for Mancroft Music as yet again they have provided the people of Norwich with lots of splendid music.

Dexterity Trio Delight

On Sunday 4th December 2011 I took the afternoon walk to St. Andrew's Church, Eaton, Norwich for the latest concert in the Eaton Concert Series with the Dexterity Trio featuring Anna Hopkins - flute, Maja Passchier - cello and David Morgan - piano.

The programme consisted of Trio no 30 in F major - Haydn, Trio Miniaturen - Juon, Trio - Steel, Sonata in G minor - Telemann, Sonate en Concert - Damase and Kleines Trio on Irish Themes - Rowley. A varied programme that made for an interesting afternoon of music.

All members of this Norfolk-based trio are highly respected musicians with successful careers devoted to teaching and performing. They provided a delightful concert for the enthusiastic audience which included informative commentary on the pieces from David Morgan.
