Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective: Glinka, Strauss, Schumann

Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective is an exciting and energizing collaboration of musicians, each established performers in their own right. The group contains the BBC Young Musician of the Year winner from 2006 and the winner from 2012, the principal bass of The Philadelphia Orchestra, a BBC New Generation Artist, Principal Bassoon for the Aurora Orchestra and Principal Horn of the Scottish Chamber orchestra. Kaleidoscope’s primary aim is to bring wonderful musicians together to perform but with a specific and ardent commitment to celebrating diversity of as many forms as possible – of nationality, skin color, gender, orientation, age and social background. In this, their debut concert at Wigmore Hall, the collective will focus on repertoire from the Romantic era.
