London Concertante Chamber Ensemble

Piano Quartet Movement ~ Mahler
Piano Quartet in C minor ~ Faure
Piano Quintet "Trout" ~ Schubert

Established 15 years ago, this ensemble is enjoying a successful season that includes two recent Wigmore Hall appearances and a tour of the USA in February 2008.
Due to the unusual combination of instruments in Schubert's Trout Quintet it is difficult to fit into most programmes - we believe this is the first time we have presented it at Amersham.
