This lunchtime programme includes Mendelssohn’s much-loved Piano Quartet No.3 in B minor which was completed shortly before Mendelssohn's 16th birthday.

Directed by prize-winning violinist, Akiko Ono, the Maiastra Piano Quartet is the result of a recent course run by the Aidan Woodcock Charitable Trust, which provides opportunities for emerging and talented young professionals who are hoping to make chamber music a major part of their careers.

This will be followed by Dvořák Piano Quartet No. 2 in Eb major, a work demonstrating wonderful dramatic conviction and intensity.
