I Musicanti is made up of numerous distinguished performers. They play in the best orchestras and as soloists and chamber musicians; they appear in concert halls internationally and on recordings; they are based in Britain but come from around the world. What unites them is their ceaseless musical curiosity, a palpable sense of adventure and an unswerving commitment to excellence.

Many of you will be familiar with Schubert’s ever-popular ‘Trout’ Quintet, but perhaps not so with Vaughan Williams and John McCabe’s equally wonderful pieces for the same ensemble.
