Frank Bridge composed three sets of three miniatures for piano trio in around 1908, and although they were written for some of his students, they are tonally diverse and brilliantly-written cameos, and act as a good introduction to his musical style.   The Pixels Ensemble continue their programme with two very well-known and much-loved stalwarts of the chamber music repertoire, contrasting the brilliance of Mozart’s G minor piano quartet with Schubert’s sublime 'Trout Quintet'.

We are delighted to welcome back Pixels Ensemble, a versatile chamber music group with a shared passion for performing the finest repertoire from the classical period to the present day. Its players are all established soloists, chamber musicians, recording artists, orchestral principals.

Recent engagements include appearances at Liverpool Philharmonic, the Holywell Music Room in Oxford and Conway Hall in London, and the group enjoys close associations with the University of Liverpool and Stapleford Granary, Cambridge. Pixels Ensemble is committed to new music, with premières of works by Lera Auerbach, Dani Howard, Martin Iddon, Timothy Jackson, Marco Momi and Karen Tanaka.

This concert is kindly supported by our Patrons.
