Following his hugely successful Goldberg Variations last year, Steinway Artist James Longford returns to the Memorial Hall with his acclaimed piano trio, in aid of Dementia UK

The Galos Piano Trio is a unique group bonded through music-making and friendship that has spanned three decades.

Felicity, Heidi and James' engaging and entertaining approach has seen them perform across the UK, inspire the next generation of composers and players with workshops in schools, and give hundreds of concerts across the world in partnership with luxury cruise liners.

"We are passionate about the piano trio genre, keeping great British music alive and exploring music by women composers. We champion the works of Armstrong-Gibbs, Bridge, Stanford, Clara Schumann, Mel Bonis, Johanna Doderer and Dame Ethel Smyth, and have recently made the first recording of Agnes Zimmermann's Suite for Piano Trio, which we will perform this evening."

Past highlights include acclaimed performances at the St. Martin-in-the-Fields Chamber Music Festival, the London Piano Trio Festival and at the bicentenary celebrations of William Sterndale Bennett, England's sole true Romantic composer, at London's Conway Hall.

"​After a long break we are delighted to be performing again on 22 April on the Isle of Wight, in aid of Dementia UK’s Admiral Nurses, specialists in dementia care."
