Firebird Chamber Platform: Trio Concept

Haydn Piano Trio No. 43 in C major, Hob.XV.27 Ravel Piano Trio in A minor (1914) Felix Mendelssohn Trio op. 49 in D minor
Featuring three highlights of the Piano Trio repertoire by Haydn, Ravel and Mendelssohn, our next concert on 30 January will be given by the fabulous Trio Concept.
Here is taster of these terrific rising stars performing the second movement of Schubert’s exquisite Trio op. 99…
Formed in 2013 by three musicians from Turin: Edoardo Grieco(violin), Francesco Massimino (cello), and Lorenzo Nguyen (piano), the trio changed their name in 2024 from Trio Chagall to Trio Concept. Inspired by the words of Michelangelo Buonarroti, this new name reflects the trio’s artistic commitment: to seek out and present the beauty inherent in every work, which comes to life through performance, just as the sculptor reveals the perfect form within a block of marble.
‘The finest Artist has no concept that a single block of marble does not already contain within itself’
Michelangelo Buonarroti
First Prize winners at the Schoenfeld International String Competition of Harbin in China, YCAT international auditions at Wigmore Hall in London and an ‘ECHO Rising Star’ for 2025/26, the trio will now be embarking on a prestigious European tour.
Join us for a wonderful programme featuring Haydn’s lively C major Trio, Ravel’s colourful A minor and the famous D minor Trio, a masterpiece by Mendelssohn.

Martin James Bartlett returns to Firebird after his captivating performance of Mozart’s D Minor Piano Concerto earlier this year.
The second half of the concert features the sublime Fifth Symphony by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius.
The inspirational theme of the final movement of Sibelius’s Symphony No.5 came into the composer’s mind while he was climbing in the mountains of Finland. He saw sixteen swans pass over him in flight and wrote in this diary ‘this was the greatest day of my life.‘

1. Tell us a little more about your background as a musician…
I grew up with music all around me and quickly asked for my own instrument; I’ve had a violin in my hands ever since. My training was classical for the most part, but my violin playing always included improvising/playing around with folk tunes. Together with my love for gut strings, this has remained at the heart of my identity.
2. Tell us about one of your favourite moments on stage?
When preparing for a Wigmore Hall concert with Joseph Havlat, we played a run of concerts prior to the big day. Jo had arranged Szymanowski songs for violin and piano, and in our very first outing something almost magical happened. Everything felt gracefully understated. I remember feeling quite humbled to have managed to create the colours and atmospheres Jo had envisioned when arranging the songs. Moments like these are the true silver lining to our sometimes obsessive search for the intangible, these are the little things that make it all worthwhile.
3. Are you more at home as a soloist, chamber musician or orchestral musical?
Each of these settings is incredibly valuable to me. When it comes to solo repertoire, I find the solitary work to be quite meditative, which invariably culminates in an exhilarating sense freedom on stage. As for working with orchestras, experiencing the solo playing repertoire is very powerful. However I think what I enjoy most is working in a chamber orchestra setting, which allows for more malleability and a different approach to time.
4. Tell us something about your future musical ambitions…
I’m really looking forward to a very exciting recording project in spring 2025 where I will record all five Mozart concertos as well as the Sinfonia Concertante with Mathieu Herzog and the Appassionato orchestra. The most exciting part of all is that we have commissioned cadenzas from Oliver Leith, Héloïse Werner, Joseph Havlat, Isabella Gellis and William Marsey for each concerto which will be premiered in the live recording!
5. What insight do you plan to bring to your forthcoming performance of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto?
I’ve been practising the Beethoven on both my gut string and modern set up violins, experimenting with tempo, fingerings, articulation – it’s been a lot of fun. I wouldn’t exactly call it insight but let’s see what comes out!
Firebird’s 2024/25 season kicks off with a fantastic concert of two great classical masterpieces with the multi-award-winning violinist Charlotte Saluste-Bridoux…
Beethoven’s mighty Violin Concerto was heralded by the famous 19th century violinist and conductor Joseph Joachim as the German composer’s greatest violin concerto and has since become one of the best-known and regularly performed works of the genre.
French violinist Charlotte Saluste-Bridoux is a YCAT and Concert Artists Guild Artist. In 2022 she was nominated as a Rising Star Artist by Classic FM. She led the Quatuor Confluence to 1st prize at the Trondheim Chamber Music Festival in 2021. Charlotte, who joins us fresh from concertos with the CBSO and Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, will shortly be going on a USA tour.
The second half of the concert features Mozart’s fabulously feisty finale – his final symphony, the Jupiter. But why Jupiter?
Regarded as one of the great symphonies of all time, the name is said to have been coined not by Mozart but by the impressario Salomonafter the English music publisher Cramer claimed that from the opening chords the symphony reminded him of the Roman god, Jupiter – the King of the Gods and his thunderbolts.
George Jackson (pictured below) conducts this opening concert, the first in a fabulous season throughout 2024 and into 2025.

Yury brings us two beautiful works of his own alongside some wonderful music featuring his dazzling virtuosic talents as soloist with the Orchestra.
In the short video below Yury talks about the upcoming concert and its fantastic programme which includes a Fantasy from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, the famous Méditationby Massanet, Bizet’s every popular Carmen Fantasy – and music by himself too.
The second half of the programme features the magnificent Second Symphony by Jean Sibelius. Composed at the beginning of the 20th century, he said of this work that ‘My second symphony is a confession of the soul.’
Critics were divided following the symphony’s premiere, but the public loved it.
It was dubbed the ‘Symphony of Independence’ as it was written at a time of Russian sanctions on the Finnish language and culture.
The concert will be conducted by our very own Michael Thrift.
Tickets are now on sale for this memorable evening of great music.
