The Mitsu Trio was formed in 2020 by British pianist Tyler Hay, Japanese cellist Akito Goto and Catalan violinist Laura Custodio Sabas. All three members met at the Purcell School for Young Musicians when they were just teenagers, where they formed a strong musical connection.
Aside from the vast standard repertoire for piano trio, the Mitsu Trio enjoy exploring less played composers, such as Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů and Brazilian composer Henrique Oswald, with on going plans of the trio’s debut album with music of the latter. They are also strong advocates of contemporary music, having given the world premiere of Simon Speare’s piano trio, and having held workshops with the young composers at the Purcell School for Young Musicians.

Patterns of Love by all female vocal trio, Voice
Patterns of Love is a programme of a cappella songs that explore the beauty, heartache, and humour of love. The trio’s performance spans hundreds of years, from medieval up to the current day with music from 12th century Germany by Hildegard of Bingen, 13th century France, Shakespearean song, and folksong arrangements from the UK and Ireland. Including special commissions and new music by British composers Marcus Davidson, Liz Dilnot Johnson, Stevie Wishart, and Ayanna Witter-Johnson, this is an uplifting concert filled with rich harmonies, beautiful lyrics, space for reflection and both sad, and funny stories.

Voice is an exciting, female vocal trio. In their 18 years together, they have built a dedicated fan-base across the world; a rich, varied repertoire of their own arrangements, new commissions, and rarely performed Early Music; and they have honed a truly unique sound. Victoria, Clemmie, and Emily first began singing together in Oxford as members of the Oxford Girls’ Choir, before going on to form the trio in 2006 as well as forging their own successful, diverse careers. They draw on their individual musical interests and experiences to create thrilling timbres and a blend that has been described as ‘one voice’.
Their interest in Early Music can be traced back to their performances and recordings of the medieval chant of St Hildegard of Bingen, which they learned as members of Stevie Wishart’s group, Sinfonye. The singers still perform with Sinfonye today and as a trio, Voice continues to perform Hildegard’s music and have commissioned new works inspired by her words and chant.
The trio has toured throughout the UK, USA and Europe with their two self-released albums: Musical Harmony (2013), “a stunning body of work destined to prick up the hairs on the back of one’s neck” (Oxford Times & Mail), and Patterns of Love (2015). Collaborative releases include: I Have Set My Hert So Hy (Avie, 2015) with Dufay Collective, whom they also toured two new programmes of Spanish medieval pilgrim music in Galicia in September 2019; and Leoš Janáček’s The Diary of One Who Disappeared; Moravian Folksongs; Říkadla with Julius Drake and Nicky Spence (Hyperion, 2019). “The arrival of the siren-like trio… is heart-stopping and haunting in equal measure” (Gramophone Recording of the Month).
Voice released their latest album, Hildegard Portraits on SOMM Recordings in June 2022. 4.5* “beauty and precision.. Highly recommended” – James Manheim, AllMusic. They continue to tour their multimedia show Hildegard Transfigured, with visual artist Innerstrings, described as “transfixing” Opera Today & received 4* review The Guardian.

“…They play with perfect intonation, tremendous attack, and impeccable historical style. All the four instruments work together with such intelligence and imagination that I would happily listen to them every day”
Sir Roger Norrington.
The first period instrument string quartet to be selected as BBC New Generation Artists, the Consone Quartet are fast making a name for themselves with their honest and expressive interpretations of repertoire, notably from the classical and romantic eras.
Formed at the Royal College of Music in London, the Consone Quartet launched their professional career in 2015, shortly after which they were awarded two prizes at the 2015 York Early Music International Young Artists Competition, including the EUBO Development Trust Prize and a place on the EEEmerging Scheme in France. They went on to win the 2016 Royal Over-Seas League Ensemble Prize, and in 2022 were awarded a prestigious Borletti-Buitoni Trust (BBT) fellowship.
The quartet has been enthusiastically received at London’s major venues, as well as further afield in Poland, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Bulgaria and Slovenia. Festival invitations include Edinburgh, Cheltenham, Dartington, Two Moors, and Buxton. Consone are Artists-in-Residence at Paxton House (2023-2025) and at Saxon Shore Early Music Kenardington (2024-2027).

Formed in London in 2006, the Greenwich Trio brings together Slovenian violinist Lana Trotovšek, Canadian cellist Heather Tuach, and Japanese pianist Yoko Misumi. Described by Bernard Greenhouse as the “New Beaux Arts Trio” they quickly earned major distinctions including the Solti Foundation and Tunnell Trust Awards and the top prize at the Beethoven Society of Europe Chamber Music Competition.
As an ensemble they have appeared at leading festivals such as Santander, Rheingau, Ljubljana, Estoril Lisboa, Cheltenham, Rye Arts, and Bath, and at venues including London’s Kings Place, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, and Madrid’s Royal Palaces. Their Linn Records release of the complete Brahms Piano Trios has received five-star reviews from BBC Music Magazine, Classica, and Diapason.
Alongside their chamber work, the members maintain distinguished solo careers: Trotovšek has performed concertos with conductors such as Zubin Mehta, Valery Gergiev, Gianandrea Noseda and Rafael Payare; Tuach made her Carnegie Hall debut in 2015 and recorded award-nominated Bruckner with the Fitzwilliam String Quartet; and Misumi has appeared as soloist with James Judd and in major halls across Europe and Japan.
Recent highlight: In September 2025, the Trio performed Beethoven’s Triple Concerto with the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra under Julien Proulx in St. John’s.

Lauded by The Strad for her ‘thrilling and exuberant’ Royal Festival Hall debut, Shiry Rashkovsky pursues an international and diverse career. Her recording of Kate Whitley’s Viola Concerto (dedicated to her) for NMC was hailed as ‘fearless’ by The Guardian, while her latest EP which included a newly-commissioned duo composed by and recorded with Héloïse Werner was featured on BBC Radio 3’s New Music Show. In demand as a chamber musician, she is frequently invited to international festivals including Prussia Cove Open Chamber Music where she has performed with Pekka Kuusisto and Viviane Hagner, among others, and she is a founding member of Trio Klein, whose groundbreaking ‘Trio Klein’s 80s Night’ programme was featured on BBC Radio 3, and who were Artists in Residence at the University of Surrey 2023/2024.
