Next stop Wigmore Hall then the West Cork Chamber Music Festival in Ireland.

Her er vores fine annonce. De lokale medier og den lokale turist- og erhvervsforening hjælper os, så vi hjælper også dem med en lille annonce for Jubilæumsfestival - Sommerkoncerter på Langeland fylder 40 år. Oh hvem ved - måske det får endnu flere til at købe en billet til vores jubilæumsfestival...win-win-win.

We've just finished recording part 1 of our Haydn Op 64 cd for Chandos Records and our first using classical/transition bows! So excited about this new venture! You can hear us and them next season at Wigmore Hall where we'll be playing Op 20, Op 64, and the Seven Last Words across 5 concerts.

We've had a great time at Konzerthaus Berlin playing Schubert G as part of the celebration of Alfred Brendel. Fun to play in the Grosser Saal albeit facing the wrong way! Interesting rehearsal set up too...

We're in Berlin playing at the RBB Klassik Lounge at the Watergate club. Mix of music including some great percussion stuff with Alexej Gerassimez Live photos to follow!

We're just back from Israel - wonderful food experiences, nightime walks with Raz Binyamini and lovely concerts in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa. Next stop Hamburg!

Crystalline textures and an astonishing control of timbre from the Doric String Quartet in today's Lunchtime Concert at the New Walk Museum: Britten's String Quartet No 3 was utterly compelling.

Something strange is going on in Doric Land... We're playing Mozart for the first time in 8 years. Such a treat to get stuck in to K.589, the B flat "Prussian". Concert this lunchtime at the New Walk Museum and Art Gallery in Leicester along with Britten 3.

We've had a wonderful time in New England at the Middlebury College Performing Arts Series and Union College Concert Series in Schenetady. Now from minus 13 to the heat of Florida and West Palm Beach! Oh, and some good beer along the way...
