The Sea Between Two Islands – Music for Flute & Piano

The Sea Between Two Islands

Music for flute and piano by Katie Bycroft and Sally Goodworth

This concert is a celebration of the power of music to connect and communicate between people.

Sally Goodworth and Katie Bycroft have been playing together for many years and their musical connection is beautifully evident in every note of their performances. This concert is their second appearance at the Malta Society of Arts in Malta and they are delighted to present a new work, composed by Pamela Chilvers. This three-movement work for flute and piano is inspired by the theme of the sea between two islands, Malta and the UK.

The programme also features the alto flute, with works by British composers Ralph Vaughan Williams and John Rutter.

The concert ends with a joyful and dramatic sonata by Georgian composer Otar Taktakishvili, showcasing the range and depth of sound of both flute and piano.

The concert is raising funds for Villabianca Centre for Music and the Arts, a project of The Malta Trust Foundation.

Sally Goodworth has performed as a collaborative pianist throughout the UK and Europe with an extensive repertoire covering all orchestral instruments and all types of voice. Her current role as Music Coordinator at Brunel University includes teaching, accompanying, organising student concerts, plus choral and musical direction. She is a staff accompanist for the London College of Music and the Oxford Flute Summer School and previously held similar roles for the RAF and Reading University, where she taught Keyboard Skills and Piano Pedagogy. Sally is also a visiting professional at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama on the MA Musical Theatre programme, and the Head of Piano for the Music Teachers Exam Board.
