This special concert brings together two enormously talented musicians from the UK and Austria. Madeleine Mitchell ‘is one of Britain’s liveliest musical forces and foremost violinists’ (The Times). Viennese pianist Stefan Stroissnig has been performing since the age of eleven as both chamber musician and soloist with orchestras, including the Vienna Chamber Orchestra. They will perform a programme of music by Austrian composers, including pieces by Franz Schubert, Friedrich Cerha, Arnold Schönberg’s classic Phantasy, and Madeleine’s own arrangement of Alban Berg’s Die Nachtigall.
