The Allegri Quartet is one of the oldest British chamber music ensembles in existence, going back to its foundation in 1953 by Eli Goren, William Pleeth, Patrick Ireland and James Barton. The present line-up has been winning high praise from critics for its recent performances, and has a packed schedule for the 2010-2011 season. Highlights will include new commissions by Anthony Payne and Alec Roth, and the start of a complete cycle of Beethoven’s string quartets to be spread over four years. This concert is amongst the first of the series. "…the shimmer and grace and intelligence of this ensemble is riveting". The Independent on Sunday |

| Andrew Zolinsky is a versatile pianist of interpretative vision whose outstanding repertoire ranges from early Baroque to the most avant-garde music. His close relationships with a number of prominent composers have led to a series of world premieres, including David Lang's piano concerto commissioned by the BBC and premiered by Zolinsky in 2004. Future engagements include concerts in America, Italy and China, and, in the UK, a performance of Chopin's first Concerto with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
