Since her debut at the Wigmore Hall in 1997, Sarah-Jane has established a distinguished international reputation as a viola soloist and chamber musician.
During his illustrious career, Martin Roscoe has become one of the UK’s most loved and respected pianists.
Shostakovich’s final work, his Viola sonata, has several quotations from or allusions to his own and other composer’s works, including the first movement from Beethoven’s Moonlight Piano sonata. The Night Music theme is also reflected in the pieces in the first half of the recital.
“Sarah-Jane Bradley is that rare kind of viola player who can make you blush with shame for ever having told a viola joke. In her hands the instrument is passionate, eloquent and wide- ranging in its colours and moods.”
