A programme consisting of Mozart’s finest Piano Trios in celebration of the 250th anniversary of his birth.

This is a rare opportunity for concertgoers to hear this most celebrated music performed on period instruments by one of Britain’s finest Classical ensembles.

“An impressive debut for a welcome new group. [The violinist] retained a well-mannered sense of blend with his partner musicians, never dominating the show…Sharona Joshua combined a delicacy of touch and eloquence of expression with an impressive technique….”
Early Music Review

“Rarely have I enjoyed such excellent artists, each with an individual voice and rich instrumental sonority expressing musical ideas and emotions in such an unaffected manner. In ensemble every nuance and shading remained clear, almost conversation like, as one instrument interacted with the other, yet managing to preserve its own identity. Bravo!”
Maestro di Canto – Oleg Lapa
