Its size brings intimacy and immediacy to any music. Marianne Tyler (cello) and Kathleen Gilbert (piano) performed a well-constructed programme wonderfully, interpreting the lyricism of the Chopin, and the almost jazz like Debussy with equal aplomb. The highlight of the evening was Beethoven's Sonata for Piano and Cello No2. They gave us an exceptionally warm and sensitive performance. Marianne's next appearance at Lauderdale is 16th September when she gives us a Bach recital - more on www.lauderdale.org.uk.   The discography button is inactive.   The Outreach button is inactive. brown_m_4192_1.jpgbrown_m_4192_2.jpgbrown_m_4192_7.jpg           Teaching experience Marianne currently holds a successful private teaching practice in the North London area and a research post at ResCen centre for research into creation in the performing Arts at Middlesex University where she also teaches chamber music & lectures in arts management for the BA music course at the University Past teaching posts include Musicale in Harpenden, Kensington & Chelsea College and for Enfield Arts Support Service, Milton Keynes Music Service and Berkshire Young Musician's trust.
