Russian-British violinist, Dunja Lavrova, began her musical studies in St Petersburg. By the age of 11, she had already won numerous competitions, toured Germany and Peru and appeared on National Television. At the age of 13, Dunja won a fullscholarship at The Yehudi Menuhin School. She continued her studies at the Royal College of Music and won various awards including the Tagore Gold Medal.

She is fanatical about the “Golden Age of Violin” era and on a self-proclaimed “mission” to bring the playing style of that period to the audiences of today. She recorded her highly acclaimed debut album in 2015, called “My Dusty Gramophone”, recorded in the style of mid-20th century studio records. In addition to performing more traditional repertoire, Dunja frequently performs with world-class Jazz and Pop artists, Latin and Rock bands, in shows, and alongside Big Bands.

Hiroaki Takenouchi was born in Japan but has been based in London since 1997. He frequently appears on concert platforms throughout the UK, Japan, Europe and North and Central America. Takenouchi is known as one of the most versatile pianists of his generation, with a wide repertoire ranging from the core works of the piano literature to the lesser-¬ - known, championing works by Sterndale Bennett, Delius, Medtner and Parry among others. He was featured on the critically-¬ - acclaimed BBC documentary "The Prince and the Composer" on the life and music of Parry. 2012 saw the release of Hiro's recording of Catoire and Sherwood piano concertos with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and he was appointed to the faculty at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
