What a great lunchtime concert by the Paddington Trio yesterday at Hansom Hall - their playing is so nimble and full of energy. We would love to have them back!

What a great start to a new season! We welcomed a large audience to Hansom Hall and Sasha Grynyuk kept them enthralled with a sparkling hour of magnificent playing. As someone said on the way out, our Steinway sounded like an orchestra today.
