Following these renowned artists' successful concert at Leighton House last year, they return with the delightful short trio by Tailleferre (one of Les Six), two romantic pieces by Delius for violin and cello and Dvorak's terrific trio.

She represented Britain in UKinNY at Lincoln Center, the Canberra International Festival and the Queen’s Jubilee in Rome.

She directs the London Chamber Ensemble, winning a Royal Philharmonic Society award to make a film from the V&A Fabergé exhibition.
Kirsten Jenson’s career has focussed predominantly on chamber music, taking part in major international series and festivals. A recipient of numerous prizes and awards, Kirsten made her solo debut playing the Schumann Cello Concerto with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra while studying with renowned soloist and pedagogue Johannes Goritzki. She has recorded for Channel Classics and Bis Records and performed regularly on live TV and radio in Holland as cellist of the Ragazze Quartet. Since returning to the UK, live radio appearances include BBC Radio 3’s In Tune, and she has guested with ensembles including the historic Allegri Quartet and the Primrose Piano Quartet. Kirsten is a member of the United Strings of Europe.
