Michael Foyle and Maksim Štšura, critically acclaimed for their live performances and recordings of works from the 17th Century to the present day, came together in 2012 and won the Salieri-Zinetti International Chamber Music Competition and the Beethoven Piano Society of Europe Duo Competition in 2015.

Englefield Estate

The exhilarating baton of Michael Seal takes centre stage in this deeply dramatic concert beginning with a Nottingham Classics first, a performance of Elgar’s extraordinarily poignant Violin Concerto. His love of mystery shines through his nuanced 48-minute monument that unhurriedly develops from intimate expanses to noble declarations. From its first performance under the direction of Elgar, it’s been honoured as a fiendish challenge suited to the ambitions of only the most determined violinists. Celebrated for his conviction to expression, Michael Foyle, is the perfect candidate for the soloist’s spotlight.
