The Dunwald Ensemble made a delightful debut at the Portsmouth Menuhin Room, featuring a charismatic blend of woodwind, brass, and piano. Mozart’s Quintet, KV 452, showcased Karen Kingsley’s piano as an equal partner, with the Larghetto’s serene interplay and a joyful Rondo. David Barlow’s Soliloquy for clarinet and piano was brief yet poignant. Beethoven’s quintet followed, blending charm and energy, with moments reminiscent of jazz improvisation. A well-attended lunchtime of exquisite musicianship, the performance was a rare treat, celebrating this unique instrumental mix—with the promise of a flute to join in future concerts. https://musicinportsmouth.co.uk/review-the-dunwald-ensemble-at-the-portsmouth-menuhin-room

Join us for Classics by Candlelight with Southern Pro Musica on Saturday, 22 February at St Peter’s Church, Petersfield.

Angelina Kopyrina captivated a packed St. Thomas’s Chapel in Portsmouth Cathedral with a breathtaking performance. From Beethoven’s elegant Sonata No. 18 to the fiery depths of Prokofiev’s Sonata No. 7, her artistry left the audience spellbound. The slow, delicate moments were mesmerizing, but the stormy, impetuous finale was pure magic—a powerful reminder of why live music matters. Whether you’re a classical enthusiast or not, this was the kind of performance that stays with you. https://musicinportsmouth.co.uk/review-angelina-kopyrina-at-lunchtime-live
