‘Both of these players have the potential to conquer the world’ wrote The Times soon after Alina Ibragimova and Cédric Tiberghien – then both BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists – first played together in 2007.

Today they are described as the ‘partnership of choice’ for violin and piano repertoire. This concert will provide a rare opportunity to hear these virtuosic musicians perform a varied programme including Czech and Romanian masterpieces as well as Barry’s exciting Triorchic Blues written in 1990. The programme concludes with Beethoven’s brilliant, emotionally rich and romantic ‘Kreutzer’ sonata.
