We've been shortlisted for not one, but two OPUS KLASSIK awards!
The first for our Beethovenfest Bonn performance of Shostakovich's Fifth by Heart last year and the second for our Warner Classics album of Abel Selaocoe's Cello Concerto 'Four Spirits'.

Mezzo-soprano Natalie Lewis joins us in our first-half memorised and dramatised introduction, as we lift the bonnet on a musical distillation of the composer’s life in sound: klezmer bands to the natural world, folk dances to funeral marches, symphony and song united as one.
