FRENCH pianist Bernard d’Ascoli is set to perform From Darkness to Light to a Helensburgh audience.

Written in 1853, the ballad is based largely on two themes: a broad opening melody, underpinned by menacing rumbles, and a luminous ensuing chordal mediation.

Bernard d’Ascoli will perform in the Victoria Halls on Saturday, January 14 between 7.45pm and 10pm.

Tickets are priced at £12, or £11 for members of the Helensburgh Music Society. For more, email victoriahallhelensburgh@argyll-bute.gov.uk
