Saturday, 28th April 2012 - Schubert's Winterreise

Following his Wigmore Hall debut, the prize-winning South African tenor Sipho Fubesi will be joined by pianist Olga Jegunova in a performance of one of Schubert's most-loved song cycles.

The July concert will be advertised soon.

We have now started our Chamber Music in Little Venice 'Friends' scheme giving you the chance to support our series.  If you would like to read more about what benefits it includes, please take this link.

Olga Jegunova - Due to her growing commitments as a solo-pianist, we are sorry to announce that Olga will no longer act as Artistic Director for Chamber Music in Little Venice.  However, we are very happy that she will continue to be involved with performing and inviting guest artists to the same extent as before, in her new role as Artistic Advisor.

We look forward to seeing you in our future concerts and are thankful for all the support we have received so far. 

Success - The concert in September with Tamsin Waley-Cohen, Aleksei Kiseliov, Olga and Karin ws a great success, and was made so special thanks to all of you who were able to attend.

With best regards,

Karin Norlen (Artistic Director)

Olga Jegunova (Artistic Advisor)
