Leopold String Trio
“unfailingly well-tuned, lustrously toned and responsively balanced, and ever alive to the interplay of phrasing and vibrato, nuance and colour that the choice, but perilously small classic string trio repertory requires to keep it fresh.” (The Independent). The Leopolds continue their ambitious BBT-supported Series showcasing music for the trio ensemble. Series 7 and 8 concerts at London’s Wigmore Hall (9/10 March) and Southampton’s Turner Sims Concert Hall (11/13 March) feature monumental works by Bach, Webern and Mozart and a Viennese School theme with works by Brahms, Mahler, Schoenberg and Webern. Violinist Marianne Thorsen, one of the founding members of the 15 year old trio, has left the ensemble and is succeeded by Dutch violinist Isabelle van Keulen.
