The Gould Piano Trio and Robert Plane are delighted to present this programme for the 11th Corbridge Chamber Music Festival. Whether a festival regular or a first time visitor, we hope to tempt you to this special festival with stunning repertoire and inspiring guest musicians. Do join us for an enriching weekend in this beautiful Northumberland town.

Since winning first prize at both the Premio Vittorio Gui in Florence and the inaugural Melbourne Chamber Music Competition, and being promoted as British ‘Rising Stars’, the GOULD PIANO TRIO has emerged as one of the finest of its kind performing today. The Independent described its members as ‘master musicians’, and their widely diverse repertoire and ever-expanding discography display a strong stylistic conviction, appreciated by audiences and critics alike.

ROBERT PLANE’s charismatic and dynamic performances as soloist and chamber musician in concert and on disc have brought wide critical acclaim. He is currently principal clarinet of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
