Michael Wigram enjoys a varied career as a soloist, chamber musician and teacher. He has performed at The Barbican, Royal Festival Hall, Royal Albert Hall, Wigmore Hall, St John’s Smith Square, and has toured extensively across the UK. As a soloist he has played the Elgar, Dvorak and Shostakovich Concertos and Brahms Double Concerto. Pianist Lynn Arnold performs frequently throughout the UK and internationally as chamber musician, soloist and accompanist. Winner of numerous competitions both at University of Cambridge and the Royal Academy of Music, she has collaborated with Roderick Williams, Gabriela Demeterova and Roger Coull. The Duo’s lunchtime programme features Beethoven’s outstanding G minor Sonata, which brings true liberation to the cello as a solo instrument and, in Rachmaninov’s 150th Anniversary year, his epic G minor Sonata, one of the greatest works for this combination.
