Jack Hancher (Guitar)
We enjoyed hearing the very accomplished young British guitarist, Jack Hancher, who played music from his debut album, officially out on 13th December. It was good to see that he sold a very large number of pre-release CDs afterwards!
On the basis of the concert, we can heartily recommend Jack’s recording, which features works by Dowland, Arnold, and Britten, plus new commissions from Dani Howard and Laura Snowden - both really lovely pieces.

fibonacci quartet
This was a Lunchtime Concert we will remember for a very long time - a tour de force from the superb Fibonacci Quartet.
Their award-winning Bartók 4 was as exciting as we had hoped, whilst the extraordinary level of imagination which marked their performance of Mozart K428 brought constant pleasure.
‘Have I ever in a long life ever heard a concert better than this?’

LUNCHTIME CONCERT: 17TH OCTOBER 2024, 1PM
TRIO Bohémo
The award-winning Trio Bohémo delighted a bumper audience in our Lunchtime Concert at Hansom Hall.
They were recently introduced in Florida as a ‘group with attitude’ and there wasn’t a dull moment in a recital which ranged from Beethoven to powerful contemporary pieces by Vasks and Yusupov.
We are very grateful to the Parkhouse Award for supporting this concert and wish the trio well for the rest of their short tour of the UK.
