What’s on this 2025-26 season

Tim Garland, saxes & bass clarinet; Malcolm Creese, double bass; Gwilym Simcock, piano.

Acoustic Triangle's music contains a wide variety of influences – from ancient themes and folk styles through impressionism and the jazz era to the avant-garde – and blurs the perceived boundaries between genres. Their individual careers have taken them all over the globe; as an ensemble, they are known as one of the most original and respected British groups, always performing without amplification.

Mozart: String Quartet No.19 in C major, K.465 ‘Dissonant’
Glass: String Quartet No. 3 ‘Mishima’
Shostakovich: String Quartet No. 2 in A major, Op. 68 no. 2

In addition to one of Mozart's most famous quartets, the Carduccis will focus on two composers with whom they've become inextricably associated: the Soviet master Dmitri Shostakovich and the American Minimalist Philip Glass.

Please be advised of a change of programme notified January 2026.

Nikita’s outstanding performance in Shropshire last spring was followed by multiple live and studio recordings on BBC Radio 3. After extensive touring north of the border, he has marked himself out as one of the most exciting pianists based in Scotland.

He returns south with an ensemble to give us Grieg’s Piano Concerto in an exceptionally beautiful arrangement for piano and string septet. The programme will also include music by Tchaikovsky, Liadov, Stanchinsky and Scriabin.
