Members of the English Sinfonia continue their residency at The Elgiva with a programme of gorgeous music for piano trio.
Johannes Brahms and Clara Schumann had a complicated relationship built on friendship and love, and they are brought together in this concert with sensational piano trios from both composers alongside other works for trio by Philip Glass and Frank Bridge.

The English Sinfonia is one of the earliest established chamber orchestras in the UK, well-known for their engaging interpretations of British music.
Under the leadership of distinguished violinist Janice Graham, today’s orchestra is a versatile and flexible ensemble, formed of a core group of well-established players each at the height of their career, who as individuals perform music of many genres in a variety of settings, from symphonic and chamber music, opera and ballet to commercial music and film/tv soundtracks. Spanning almost six decades, the orchestra’s discography is rich in 19th and 20th century music, including both familiar and lesser-known works by Holst, Butterworth, Vaughan Williams and Bridge.
“With a musician like Graham at its helm, it’s no wonder the English Sinfonia has earned such a prominent place on the international music scene.”
