Fidelio Trio
‘The virtuosic Fidelio Trio’ (Sunday Times) lead an acclaimed and diverse international performing and recording career.
Here they bring together two of the most loved piano trios with a new work by Anna Clyne.
Dedicated to his friend, pupil and patron, Archduke Rudolph of Austria, Beethoven’s ‘Archduke’ Trio is his longest piano trio and is chamber music of symphonic scope.
Anna Clyne’s A Thousand Mornings was commissioned by Fidelio Trio in 2020.
Inspired by a Mary Oliver poem of the same title, we are reminded that we will always get through dark and difficult times.
Ravel’s only Piano Trio of 1914 is a spectacular virtuosic work, full of colour, texture, melody and mastery of orchestration for the ensemble.

The Newbury Spring Festival
Newbury Spring Festival is one of the most popular and successful music festivals in the South of England.
Over the last years the Festival has grown hugely in size and quality building up a reputation of international status.
The very best young musical stars appear alongside some of the world’s most distinguished and famous names.
Newbury Spring Festival is a glorious fortnight of world class music in Newbury and its beautiful neighbouring villages, with up to 45 events in 18 venues, and where international symphony orchestras, ensembles and soloists rub shoulders with jazz legends, world music artists and the stars of tomorrow.
The Festival was founded in 1979 to provide the opportunity to promote culture in the region by creating an annual festival accessible to all.
It aims to bring excellent, new and innovative work from around the world to a variety of local venues adding to the economic and cultural wellbeing of the area, and to continue to create opportunities for young people, existing and new audiences to enjoy the arts.
Newbury Spring Festival is funded entirely by private donation, charitable giving and corporate sponsorship and enjoys its reputation as one of the most important cultural events in the region, attracting audiences of several thousand each year from the immediate area and beyond.
Over the past few years, highlights have included the Soweto Gospel Choir at Douai Abbey which has become one of the Festival’s major venues and established a tradition of world class choirs.
Also in 2006, the Victoria Mullova Ensemble performed an unforgettable concert at Englefield House.
In 2008 John Williams and Emanuel Ax both performed in the Corn Exchange, developing a pattern of an International Celebrity Recital Series in this venue.
In 2004 the Tibetan Monks from Tashi Lhunpo Monastry took part in an exciting week long Festival residency.
