Wigmore Lunchtime Concert Series

Jonathan Leibovitz, clarinet

"Bringing plenty of colour and agility to Spohr’s Fantasia and Variations on a Theme of Danzi, Leibovitz effortlessly negotiated its extremes of range, while riding its waves of tender lyricism and high romantic drama."

The Age Melbourne / Bendigo Music Festival / February 2023

Maciej Kułakowski, cello

"One to watch...Kulakowski shows himself to be an already formidable performer and collaborator."
