About This Event

This concert is generously supported by the MMSOL Fund

We’re so delighted to welcome back ROSL alumni Michael Foyle (2013 Strings Section Winner) and his ensemble, Trio Balthasar.

Trio Balthasar is a new chamber group. Committed to imaginative, diverse programming, they explore established classics of the piano trio repertoire next to less familiar work. 

Since their launch at Wigmore Hall in 2022 they have appeared at the Harrogate International Festival, the Rye Festival, Petworth Festival and the Kirker Music Festival on Ischia. The name Balthasar was initially suggested as a homage to the German baroque architect Balthasar Neumann, and with Balthasar also the name of one of the Wise Men in the Nativity story, there developed the idea of three men on a journey, bearing gifts. Each member of the Trio Balthasar has been praised for their vivacity, emotional depth and breathtaking playing.

Iain Burnside piano, is an internationally acclaimed collaborative pianist,  with over sixty recordings covering a wide range of repertoire, including the Gramophone Award-winning NMC Songbook. He is Artistic Director of the Ludlow English Song Weekend, a regular performer at Wigmore Hall, and has curated innovative programmes for festivals worldwide. Also an award-winning broadcaster, Burnside is known for his dramatic concert projects and teaches widely, including at the Guildhall School, where he has a long-standing association.

Michael Foyle violin, winner of our 2013 ROSL Strings Award further launched his career by winning The Netherlands Violin Competition in 2016 and soon after made his Concertgebouw debut. He has since performed at major venues including Wigmore Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, and Buckingham Palace, appeared as concerto soloist with leading orchestras, and given recitals at festivals worldwide. His acclaimed recordings include the complete Beethoven Sonatas, and he is Professor of Violin at the Royal Academy of Music (its youngest ever appointee) and at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz in Cologne.

One of Europe’s most versatile cellists, Norwegian Jonathan Aasgaard is Principal Cello of the Sinfonia of London and Professor of Cello at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He appears internationally as soloist and chamber musician, collaborating with artists including Nigel Kennedy, Henning Kraggerud, Julian Rachlin, Lawrence Power, Yo-Yo Ma, and Giovanni Sollima. A champion of new music, he has given numerous world and national premières and has recorded widely, including Walton’s Cello Concerto with the Sinfonia of London.
