Madeleine Mitchell and Nigel Clayton have performed together for many years in recitals in a wide repertoire including live on BBC Radio 3, major festivals and venues including Wigmore Hall, Victoria Hall Singapore, Sound Scotland and the international Red Violin festival at St David's Hall, Cardiff for Elgar's 150th anniversary. Their album 'Violin Muse' (Divine Art) with premiere recordings was widely praised: "A winning disc with much to enjoy" The Strad

"In this satisfying and enjoyable recital, consummate musicianship was placed entirely at the service of wide-ranging and stimulating repertoire" Musical Opinion 2024

Beethoven's last violin sonata, in 4 movements, was composed in 1812. Debussy's Violin Sonata (1917) was his last work and Elgar's sole Violin Sonata was written the following year.
