This concert marks the continuation of the highly successful collaborative project between two of Europe’s most prestigious music colleges: the Mozarteum Salzburg and the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London. The project was established by violinist Wolfgang Redik, head of Chamber Music at the Mozarteum Salzburg and by cellist Alasdair Tait, head of Chamber Music at the Guildhall School, in 2011. As every year, this is a chance to hear upcoming young musicians in a special concert. The programme, performed by the Archos Quartet from the Guildhall and the Delta Piano Trio from the Mozarteum, will include works by Beethoven and Shostakovich, and a piece by the City of London Lord Mayor's Composition Prizewinner 2012, Adam Kornas, who will be present at the concert.
