Event Summary:
The Zemlinsky Trio brings together three outstanding chamber musicians. Emma Abbate ‘an amazingly talented pianist’ (Musica) works with some of the finest singers and instrumentalists of her generation. Evva Mizerska, named ‘rising star’ by Strad is a highly sought-after award-winning cellist. Clarinettist Peter Cigleris enjoys a career spanning solo and chamber music, live broadcasts, recordings and concerto world premieres across the UK and abroad.

Beethoven’s Clarinet Trio includes a theme and variations on a famous song from Joseph Weigl’s opera L’amore marinaro (Love at sea).
