Seaford Music Society continues its long tradition of promoting Professional Chamber Music with a 2021-2022 Season. The first chamber concert of the season opens with Devienne’s Quartet for bassoon, violin, viola and cello which may be new to many, but it is a stunningly beautiful work that demands virtuosity from all the players and closes with Beethoven’s Septet, which was apparently modelled on Mozart’s D Major Divertimento, and certainly it retains the light-hearted mood of Mozart’s work. The centre piece of the concert is the world premiere Brighton-born John Lewis’s Seaford Snapshots, which was commissioned by a member of the Seaford Music Society.
