Upcoming Events

Rigg Bequest Classic Music 2025 at St John's Anglican Church, Camberwell

Concert 2 - Sanctuary of Sound: Mozart, Marais & More

Step into the serene acoustics of St John’s Anglican Church Camberwell for an evening of chamber music that spans centuries and continents. Clarinettist Robert Schubert, cellist Josephine Vains, and pianist Robert Chamberlain present a richly varied program of solos, duos, and trios.

From Mozart’s elegant Church Sonata and Marais’ passionate La Folia, to the lyrical English trio by John Ireland and the cinematic flair of Nino Rota, Sanctuary of Sound explores the expressive power of clarinet, cello, and piano in all their combinations. French Baroque keyboard gems by Rameau and Couperin add a touch of historical charm, while folk-inspired works from Korea and Ukraine bring a global perspective. Read more including full programme details here. Or download the concert e-flyer here.

Directly after the recital, join other audience members and the artists for post-concert refreshments (approximately 8.45pm to 9.30pm) in the Rutherford Room, hosted by the Friends of the Team of Pianists.
