@StephenUpshaw shares his thoughts on a work described as 'an exercise in not trying to beautify every sound but to admit vulnerability' which vividly captures the anxiety of 2020 and life in lockdown. https://t.co/5dPBaBS6sm

The title track from “Veneer” is out today! I’ve been very lucky to have a long working relationship with Ed Finnis whose music I’ve played for many years all over the world, so I’m particularly excited to have recorded this very special work. https://t.co/JiEPMjUruM 💿

Thank you! 🙏🏽
@stephenupshaw @ErrollynWallen @wigmore_hall Lavinia's ethereal melodies dance like Debussy. Upshaw's viola breathes such life into Wallen's work. Pure magic! 🎻

It's exactly 100 years today since the premiere of this absolute gem of a piece, Leoš Janáček's 'Kreutzer Sonata' 🎼 This is one of our fave moments from the 2nd movement at our concert at @wigmore_hall last year ❤️
