Nikola is founder of Sound Collective Scotland and ex-member of Live Music Now. He is a graduate of RCS and prize winner at several International competitions, and combines free-lance playing with his role of woodwind instructor in schools. remember Silviya, who memorably presented her students in Young Piano Talents in Occasionally@St.Michael's last October, is in demand as soloist and teacher at Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and is accompanist for Glasgow Philharmonic Male Voice Choir.
Being performed will be Durufle's Prelude, Recitative and Variations Op.3, the only piece of chamber music which he allowed to be published. Framing this, the Concertino by Bloch and Martinu's Trio, both glinting gems of bright neoclassical inventiveness.
This shall be the 21st concert in the Occasionally@St.Michael's series and the last before Christmas. Free admission, any donations go towards the upkeep of the church organ. Hope to see you there!
