Will Archibald & Simon Callaghan
Beethoven, Prokofiev, Piazzolla
Sunday 25th May 2025, 11:30AM – Dabton House
Presented by Absolute Classics
Sunday at Dabton House begins with a concert that moves effortlessly between light and shade, boldness and delicacy. Cellist Will Archibald, a young artist of remarkable depth and flair, brings fire and refinement to a programme that spans continents and centuries.
Beethoven’s noble and searching Sonata No. 3 is followed by the crystalline wit of Prokofiev’s C major Sonata. Archibald’s resonant and richly coloured playing finds an ideal partner in pianist Simon Callaghan, whose sensitive musicianship provides both sparkle and space.
The morning concludes in Buenos Aires with Piazzolla’s Le Grand Tango – a sultry, rhythmic masterpiece pulsing with passion.
Following the performance, guests are invited to enjoy a leisurely two-course Sunday lunch, served from 1:00 to 3:00PM – the perfect conclusion to a refined and tranquil musical morning in the heart of Dumfries and Galloway.
