The Galliard Trio has been performing for forty-four years. Since its first appearance in 1981 it has been playing in music clubs, stately homes, churches, schools and arts centres throughout southern England. It often plays in support of good causes such as the National Trust, church restoration funds and other charities. This is the Trio’s first visit to Aylesbury.
The Trio has established a reputation for programmes of great variety. Its repertoire is wide, partly because of the different combinations of instruments available and partly because of the arrangements it has made of music by many composers.
The members live within a short distance of each other in North London, but the Trio performs regularly through the south of England.

Antonín Dvořák
Slavonic Dance in A flat major op 46
The Slavonic Dances are a series of 16 orchestral pieces composed by Antonín Dvořák in 1878 and 1886 and published in two sets as Op. 46 and Op. 72 respectively. Originally written for piano four hands, the Slavonic Dances were inspired by Johannes Brahms’s own Hungarian Dances and were orchestrated at the request of Dvořák’s publisher soon after composition. The polka, in A flat major will be performed on flute, oboe and piano.
