Date of Story 24 April, Friday, 2015

We have just come back from the USA and a month-long tour. We played fifteen concerts in that time and we saw the Niagara falls (left), the CN Tower in Toronto, the Golden Gate, an aircraft carrier in Corpus Christi and vineyards in California. Now we are preparing for the premiere of Emily Howard’s string quartet in the Wigmore Hall on the 4th of May. At the same concert we will be playing Schumann’s piano quintet with Simon Crawford-Phillips. Look out for our Beethoven CD! It has received good reviews!
