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) who are joined by inspirational pianist Chiyan Wong, making his festival debut. ‘Music for friends’ would be a fine title for this concert. There’s a trio of trios for this quirky line-up that only a handful of composers ever combined (luckily, they include Schumann, Kurtág and Mozart, who did it first) and each player takes a solo spot.
