THE PADDINGTON TRIO

‘To an Old Friend’

Our newest Festival Associate Artists, the Paddington Trio, make their third visit to the Festival, after stunning previous performances at our 2024 Chamber Festival and 2025 Summer Festival.

‘Music can take you anywhere when played like this’ The Guardian

Much like the famous bear, Finnish violinist Tuulia Hero, Irish cellist Patrick Moriarty, and American pianist Stephanie Tang first came together at Paddington Station and made London their home. From the start they achieved a meteoric rise, emerging as First Prize recipients of two prestigious London chamber music competitions: the 70th Royal Over-Seas League Competition and the Parkhouse Award at Wigmore Hall.

Their programme To an Old Friend features works that have been ‘dedicated’ to friends and artists, by Pärt and Shostakovich, together with a new commission from locally-born composer, Mark Boden, and culminates in Tchaikovsky’s great Piano Trio in A minor, Op. 50 written in memory ‘of a great artist, Nikolai Rubinstein’.
