Piano – Lorenzo Nguyen
Violin – Edoardo Grieco
Cello – Francesco Massimino
A treat for the Bank Holiday weekend! TMC is delighted to welcome the prize-winning Trio Chagall for a special gala evening in the wonderful setting of All Saints’ church, Tudeley, the only church in the world with all-Chagall stained glass windows. The Trio was named as a tribute to Marc Chagall, who has always been a deep source of inspiration, as well as being admired for his ties to music and strong expressive power through the use of colour.
Prolific competition winners, in September 2023 Trio Chagall was awarded First Prize at the Schoenfeld International String Competition in Harbin, China. The Trio has been announced as ECHO Rising Stars, embarking on a tour of Europe’s major concert halls in the 24/25 season.
Joseph Haydn: Piano Trio Hob. XV:35 in A major
Maurizio Azzan: ‘As if snowflakes, in rows, rose towards the sky’
Felix Mendelssohn: Piano Trio No.1 in D minor, Op.49
“Both from a technical and expressive point of view, Trio Chagall […] does not appear to be a group of ex wunderkind nor of young promises, but rather an ensemble of mature musicians, able to deeply relate with the score, regardless of the composer or period.” (Circuito Musica)
Before the concert Josephine Willoughby, from the Chagall Windows Preservation Trust, will give a short talk about the windows.
The concert will be approximately 1 hour, without an interval, followed by a glass of bubbly and canapes, and a chance to meet these outstanding artists.
Doors will open at 6.30pm.
Standard ticket £30 | Students & Under 18s £10

London Handel Players
Flute and recorders – Rachel Brown
Violins – Adrian Butterfield, Oliver Webber
Viola – Rachel Byrt
Cello – Gavin Kibble

‘Barbaric Beauty’
Many composers of the baroque period were fascinated by the music and culture of foreign lands and this programme brings together examples that demonstrate the huge variety of styles and influences available to them at that time
France and the fascination for lands afar
Polish bagpipes and Barbaric Beauty
Spices of the Orient, Spanish folly and curiosities from the Canaries
The far-flung corners of the Earth – the British Isles
“The London Handel Players are delighted to be celebrating 25 years of chamber music making in 2025. They will be bringing to Tonbridge a rather special programme which investigates the connection between folk and art music in the baroque period. Georg Philipp Telemann worked for a short time in Poland as a young man and was thrilled by the folk musicians he heard there and whose exhilarating playing he felt provided him with ‘enough ideas for a lifetime of composition’. LHP have brought together a fascinating mix of music with influences from across the globe.” (Adrian Butterfield, Violinist-Director, LHP)
