Event Info
This concert is inspired by the Hungarian violinist Jelly d’Aranyi who was a great favourite with Gregynog and Aberystwyth audiences from the 1920s to the 1950s and this concert is presented by the violinist Sara Trickey with an introduction by Rhian Davies.
Jelly d'Arányi (Budapest, 30.05.1893 - Florence, 30.03.1966) was a Hungarian violinist, the great-niece of Joseph Joachim, sister of violinist Adila Fachiri (1886-1962). She began study as a pianist, but switched to violin at the Franz Liszt Conservatory in Budapest when Jenö Hubay accepted her as a pupil.
She formed a trio with Pablo Casals, cello and Frederick Septimus Kelly, piano. She also performed together with Béla Bartók, who dedicated his two sonatas for violin and piano to her which they performed in London in March 1922 (no. 1) and May 1923 (no. 2).
Maurice Ravel dedicated his Tzigane to her; Ralph Vaughan Williams his Concerto Accademico. Gustav Holst wrote a double concerto for Jelly and her sister Adila Fachiri.
