National performers

Ruth, Laurie and Hester are based in London and are all graduates from the Royal Academy of Music in London. The trio enjoys a busy concert schedule and regularly perform on behalf of Live Music Now, providing music for those who may not have the chance to listen to live concerts.

Recent public appearances include a residency at the Aberdeen International Youth Festival, and performances at the Edinburgh Fringe, Portcullis House, the British Museum and Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital. The trio also performed recently at a series of masterclasses held at 22 Mansfield Street in London by Live Music Now.

This year the trio will perform at London’s new chamber concert space “The Forge” in Camden, and they will also tour to Esbjerg and Speyside to give a series of Live Music Now concerts.
