WORKS by Joseph Haydn and Frederic Chopin will feature in the Classical Music Society's next Live at the Library performance.

Lauretta Bloomer, pianist with the Virtuoso Horn Duo, will give a recital at Kidderminster Library on Friday, March 10.

Lauretta, who studied at the Royal College of Music in London, specialises in chamber music and was invited to study the discipline in Vienna.

She has performed with soloists including Bruno Pasquier and Franz Helmerson.

In 1993, she moved to Holland, where she works with the Netherlands Opera Centre and also worked with the Amsterdam Sinfonietta, Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, Netherlands Philharmonic and the Dutch Radio Orchestra.

She forms a regular duo with violist Michael Gieler and is a member of the Immanuel Horn Trio of Amsterdam.

Lauretta was invited to perform at the School of Fine Arts in Banff, Canada and was the special guest at the first International Course for Contemporary Music in Siguenza Spain.

She will be performing Joseph Haydn's Sonata No 60 and Sonata No 62, Clara Schumann's Quatre Pieces Fugitives Opus 15, Robert Schumann's Drei Romanzen Opus 28, Frederic Chopin's Trois Nocturnes Opus 9 and Deus Valses.

It will be the latest performance in The Beryl Chempin Piano Series and Lauretta, who first played for the society in 2002, accompanying cellist, Robert Putowski, is standing in at short notice after another performer cancelled.

Classical Music Society vice-chairman, Von Stewart, said: "It will be good to welcome Lauretta back and this time on her own. It is quite a compliment that she has taken the trouble to come for a second time all the way from Holland, especially to do our concert."

Tickets for the piano recital, which starts at 7.30pm, are available from Kidderminster Library and Von Stewart on 01562 755990.
