SUMMARY:Event M19: The Pearl Trio
DESCRIPTION:Made up of Tim Rumsey (piano)\, Leo Kerr (clarinet)\, and Bríona Mannion (violin)\, this concert promises to be an hour-long treat of music featuring favourite classical works for this seldom-seen trio combination\, along with new jazz arrangements by pianist Tim Rumsey. \nThe Pearl Trio was formed back in 2020 when Leo\, Bríona\, and Tim were all students at the Royal Academy of Music. Since then\, they have played in various venues and popular lunchtime recital series including Regent Hall and Royal Overseas League in London\, with future concerts booked at Champs Hill and Chichester Cathedral. The trio’s equal passion for both folk music and jazz have led them to perform repertoire by Armenian composers Khachaturian and Arutiunian\, as well as works by Stravinsky and Milhaud. Pianist Tim Rumsey has also arranged and composed new music to widen their repertoire further\, including works by Gershwin and Billy Mayerl. \nRecently honoured as an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music\, Tim Rumsey is a UK based soloist and chamber musician\, having delighted audiences at venues including the Wigmore Hall\, Chichester Cathedral and Champs Hill\, as well as concert halls further afield in Italy and Spain. Tim launched his debut album\, Transcriptions\, in Autumn 2025 to great acclaim\, being ranked No.4 in Textura’s Top 20 for 2025 (Instrumental). \nLeo Kerrr graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in 2023\, having previously attended St Mary’s Music School where he played Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto with the school’s orchestra after winning their concerto prize. Leo has performed in venues such as the Queen Elizabeth Hall and Snape Maltings alongside the London Sinfonietta and Knussen Chamber Orchestra\, as well as live on BBC Radio Scotland and Radio 3. \nBríona Mannion is a passionate chamber musician and soloist and has performed at prestigious festivals and venues such as the Gstaad Menuhin Festival\, Pablo Casals Festival\, Dublin National Concert Hall and the Queen’s Hall Edinburgh. Bríona has recently completed her Artist Diploma at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama\, having previously studied at the Haute École de Musique\, Switzerland.

SUMMARY:Event M20: A European Odyssey
DESCRIPTION:Hampshire Recorder Sinfonia’s stunning musical performances under the direction of Helen Hooker have undoubtedly reversed the public’s perception of the recorder’s extraordinary sound and capability. All seven sizes of instrument from the tiny sopranino to the growling subcontrabass will feature in this evening’s characterful musical journey across Europe. \nThe recorder is one of the most quietly beautiful and remarkably adaptable instruments in the world. It’s probably the most underestimated! Ultimately\, whatever its size\, the mystique of the instrument lies in its paradox: it is simple yet profound\, ancient and yet current\, delicate yet powerful. In skilled hands it becomes astonishingly expressive and can portray sorrow\, joy\, mischief and serenity.
