The trio enjoys a busy concert schedule and regularly perform on

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

a series of masterclasses held at 22 Mansfield Street in London by

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.
