@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. thestrad.com/video/tonia-kos…
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. tinyurl.com/7wfd5mx9 💿
Excited to release “Veneer” by Edmund Finnis, the next single and title track from my new EP on Friday - can’t wait to share it! 🙌🏽 💿
Another wonderful visit to Switzerland to coach the fantastic violists of the @LucerneFestival Academy - always so impressed with the level of dedication and focus of these musicians. 🤍
Excited to announce “Lavinia” by @ErrollynWallen , the first single from my new EP “Veneer” is out now ! Commissioned by Ernst von Siemens Foundation and Riot Ensemble, this clip is from the first live performance at @wigmore_hall . 🎻 open.spotify.com/track/6NS4z…

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 ❤️
