Many brilliant, inspiring young musicians have come to ENF as students (especially to the ENF Retreat programme) and subsequently gone on to reach the top of the profession. We are thrilled to welcome two of them here: violist, Diyang Mei (now First Principal Viola of the Berlin Philharmonic) and Sergio Pires (Principal Clarinet of the LSO) for a playful programme of solos, duos and trios ranging over 200 years.
There’s Mozart and Kurtág in warm, humorous mood, Schumann telling fairy stories, Prokofiev’s Shakespearean ballet – a proper showcase for these brilliant musicians.
