Happy New Year!!! 🎉
Is throwback Thursday still a thing?
Regardless, here’s a little ‘throwback’ post of our concert at Sevenoaks Music Club in November. It was a pleasure to play to such a wonderful group of people who supplied one of the most impressive quiches we’ve ever seen!
Excited for what 2026 will bring!

A small snippet of the Grieg from our recent concert @st_marys_perivale . It was a joy to play in such a beautiful little venue and we’re excited to bring our programme of Haydn and Grieg to @rcmlondon next week!
🎻🌱🎻 These Calathea’s are stuffed in a windowless box but excited to be bringing a programme of Haydn, Caroline Shaw and Grieg to St Mary’s Perivale today, June 12th at 2pm. If you can’t be there you can also tune in online - find the link in our bio! 🎻🌱🎻

We had a great autumn/winter season with concerts at Bloomsbury Festival, RCM and our Conway Hall Debut.
So excited for what 2025 has to bring!!
