![[Grace Huang]](../perform/images/older/huang.jpg)
After Grace Huang's spectacular performance at the 2002 Hebden Bridge Arts Festival, this is an opportunity to hear one of the leading young pianists studying in the UK today in an imaginative and challenging programme.
About Grace Huang
A lively programme featuring some substantial works for this combination as well as pieces with a distinctly Latin and jazz flavour to brighten up an autumn lunchtime.
(This programme will last an hour without interval)
About the Tempest Saxophone Quartet
The concert two years ago by musicians on the BA (Scottish Music) course was so popular (very nearly a sell-out) that we are delighted welcome back the multi-talented instrumentalists and singers currently on the course for an evening of airs, dances and ballads played on wide range of traditional instruments.
