Phoenix at Wigmore Hall, 13th May

The Phoenix Piano Trio’s debut concert at Wigmore Hall is nearly upon us – a delightful blend of charm and cheer that will truly mark the beginning of spring.

And it’s actually not just Phoenix’s debut at Wigmore Hall! Ireland’s last, most substantial trio, an impressive meeting of English pastoral tradition and impressionistic French colour, is being performed for the first time at this venue; as is Thomas Dunhill’s charming but relatively unknown offering for three players. These will be performed alongside Beethoven’s magisterial E flat trio – a real cornerstone of the repertoire, and also featured on Phoenix’s forthcoming CD.

The concert is now only weeks away so don’t forget to book your tickets here. It seems like only yesterday that is was writing about the ticket launch back in February (!) – how time has flown…

A Light at the End of a Wintry Tunnel

The Phoenix Piano Trio’s exciting 2012 continues with a debut performance at Wigmore Hall this May. We are delighted to announce that tickets go on sale today, and are available on Wigmore Hall‘s website.

The programme is a masterful blend of known and unknown works; of established and growing reputations. Beethoven’s magisterial E flat Trio, felt by many to be his finest work in the genre, is the cornerstone of the programme, following up two rare English gems – trios by John Ireland and Thomas Dunhill. We’re extremely excited to hear Dunhill’s so rarely performed work, a passionate yet pastoral treat, and it gives us all a chance to properly mark the 50th anniversary of John Ireland’s death.

Bring some spring optimism to your February by getting tickets now!
