I Musicanti (30 October, Conway Hall Sunday Concerts)

The artists who make up I Musicanti are all distinguished performers. They play in the best orchestras and as soloists and chamber musicians; they appear in concert halls internationally and on recordings; they are based in Britain but come from around the world. What unites them is their ceaseless musical curiosity, a palpable sense of adventure and an unswerving commitment to excellence.

Many of you will be familiar with Schubert's ever-popular 'Trout' Quintet, but perhaps not so with Vaughan Williams and John McCabe's equally wonderful pieces for the same ensemble.

Founded in the 1880s, Conway Hall's Sunday Concerts chamber music series is the longest-running of its kind in Europe. Conway Hall was purpose-built in 1929 to host concerts and lectures, and they have continued here until the present day. The ethos of "affordable classical music for all" still remains.
