A special reunion today.
Jasiel Peter arrived at Trinity Laban barely able to hold a bass. Through discipline and determination, he is now performing at the Royal Albert Hall with A. R. Rahman.
This is what teaching is about - transformation.
Nothing will hold him back. 🎶

At Conway Hall, I Musicanti performs J.B. Cramer’s Piano Quintet No.3 in B-flat, Op.79 written for the Trout instrumentation and premiered in London in 1833 with Domenico Dragonetti on bass.

Thrilled to bring I Musicanti to Conway Hall on 15 Feb 2026 🎶
Schubert’s famous Trout Quintet paired with J.B. Cramer’s Piano Quintet for the same forces - possibly unheard in London since its premiere with Cramer & Dragonetti.

What an honour to have this wonderful new string quintet, written for me and my ensemble @IMusicantiEns by the composer Ivor Hodgson
