A wonderful day with @SinfoniaSmithSq closing with a seminar on getting creative ideas off the ground. @Libby_Burgess and Dan have put their creative ideas for the train home well and truly into action…

Howell studied piano with Matthay, and he would later champion her piano pieces for children.

Matthay's stature as a pedagogue grew at the expense of his reputation as a composer and his Piano Quartet remains unrecorded and unheard. Help us to put it back on the map with our premiere recording - donate here!

We're still on a high after last night's concert at @ConwayHall. Very special thanks to guest pianist @simondcallaghan who played 37 notes to every one of ours without so much as a raised eyebrow
