Guy Johnston has written an article in The Strad about the formation of the Bechstein Piano Trio (with Emmanuel Despax and Priya Mitchell), which will be resident at the new Bechstein Hall when it opens later this year. The feature appears in The Strad ahead of the Trio’s concert at the Hatfield House Music Festival on Thursday 10th October. The Trio will perform Fauré and Brahms in the opening concert in the Marble Hall.

“Earlier this year, pianist Emmanuel Despax received a dream invitation to form a piano trio for the opening of the new Bechstein Hall this season….It’s quite a rare opportunity to be offered a number of performances as trio in residence for this special new concert hall, curated by artistic director Terrence Lewis. It will be a chance to get to know each other musically and to delve into such an exciting array of repertoire composed for this formation.”
