Alina Ibragimova and Cédric Tiberghien first met as members of the BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists scheme. The unique partnership which formed was noted by The Times in a review concluding: ‘Both of these players have the potential to conquer the world’.

The pair have since performed throughout Europe, in North America, Australia and Asia and are regular guests at Wigmore Hall.

Their programme tonight ranges from one of the three sonatas in Beethoven’s Op. 12, a group dedicated to Antonio Salieri with whom Beethoven took lessons, to John Cage’s Six Melodies, composed in 1950, shortly after his ground-breaking String Quartet.

Season Tickets for all nine concerts in the Series are available at a 50% discount.
