An evening of Hausmusik as friends gather to celebrate the birthday of one of the UK's finest pianists at Wigmore Hall. 

The streamed concert showed the Aurora players' prowess as chamber musicians, joined by the excellent Swiss pianist in music by Mozart, Ravel and a specially commissioned new work by Sasha Scott.

A case of musical minds being in particularly close interpretative sync, revealing the music not through showy display but through restrained but intense concentration.

Ravel, Mendelssohn and youthful Shostakovich form a varied programme for this starry trio. 

Mixed performances from this well-known ensemble, but overall fine playing that showcased the genius of Haydn and beauty of Frank Bridge.

The Garth Newel Piano Quartet presented a "French Feast" of delectable chamber works by Ravel, Chausson and Florent Schmitt that was a gastronomical as well as musical triumph.

Dimanche 14 février, le Trio Wanderer jouait le seul trio écrit par Ravel et le plus connu des trios de Schubert au Théâtre des Champs-Elysées. Une matinée agréable, malgré un Schubert qu'on aurait aimé un peu plus intense. 

Musique de chambre classique, jazz, tapas et cocktails: voilà le programme original proposé chaque soir à l'Athénée 4 pendant une semaine. Pour le concert d'ouverture de la quatrième édition, Audrey Vigoureux et Marc Perrenoud - pianistes et codirecteurs artistiques du festival - se sont entourés de musiciens de grande qualité pour défendre leur projet devant un public conquis.
