Fenella Humphreys has, in the past year alone, given concerto and recital performances at prestigious venues including London's South Bank Centre. She was a 2006 Park Lane Group Young Artist, received Making Music's 2005 Philip and Dorothy Green Award for Young Concert Artists, and gave a recital at the Wigmore Hall, finalist in the YCAT competition.

Annabelle Lawson is increasingly in demand as a soloist, chamber musician, accompanist and workshop leader. Earlier this summer Annabelle was awarded a place as solo pianist on the Live Music Now! scheme, and she has recently given solo and chamber recitals in venues such as the Purcell Room and St. James' Piccadilly.

Rebecca Knight has given recitals in the LSO Discovery Series, the IMAI Festival Maine, USA, the Paxos International Festival, Oxford Lieder Festival, and has attended masterclasses at Prussia Cove. Always keen to approach new music, she has given the European première of chamber works by Chen Yi in the BBC Proms, and appeared at the Wigmore Hall with the Guildhall New Music Ensemble.
