We have just spent three wonderful days in Eastbourne with Kirker Holidays, which included three full length concerts, informative talks presented by Simon Rowland-Jones and many conversations with the very knowledgeable Kirker audience. For the next opportunity with Piattis and Kirker, please click the link above to find out more information about the forthcoming holiday in Ischia this October.

We are in the middle of a very busy February with 19 concerts in just 23 days with tours of Ireland and Scotland…. Look out for an article in the Strad which will be detailing our adventures!

Our jazz album with saxophonist Justin Swadling received a glowing 4.5* review all the way from the USA in the historic Downbeat Magazine in this month’s edition.

We will be featuring on BBC Radio3 this week as part of their lunchtime concert series. Tune in from 13:00 on Tuesday 15th, Thursday 17th and Friday the 18th of November to hear Haydn’s quirky Op.33 No.1, Brahms’ melancholic Quartet No.2 and Dvorak’s uplifting Piano Quintet respectively. These broadcasts were collated from our concert at the Belfast International Festival in October as part of an invitation from UK pianist Clare Hammond. Thank you for listening!

We have just completed 3 performances of Dvořák’s Piano Quintet in A major with the help of three wonderful musicians: Tom Poster, Charles Owen and Clare Hammond. The performance with Clare Hammond will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 next week, Friday 18th November as part of their lunchtime series broadcasts. Please tune in to hear this moving and uplifting piece!

A Place To Be

A scenic few weeks lie in store for us as we stay for extended periods in Aldeburgh (Suffolk) and St.Mawes (Cornwall). Our debut performance of Haydn’s Seven Last Words from the Cross (narrated by actor Sam West) and a quintet collaboration with Simon Rowland Jones are just a couple of the highlights from those weeks!

We’re all looking forward to our debut in Barcelona this month, playing with the wonderful pianist, Ricard Ravirosa. The program will include the Franck Piano Quintet and Mozarts’ Piano Concerto No. 12 in A major, at the beautiful setting of Barcelonas’ historic ‘La Pedrera’.
