Music Review: Trio Gaspard at Djanogly Recital Hall
Thu 16 Nov 2023Founded in 2010, Trio Gaspard are one of the most sought after Piano Trios and are regulars at the Wigmore Hall and a host of famous European venues; this year, they also performed at the BBC Proms. They are currently involved in a project to record all of Joseph Haydn’s Piano Trios for their record label, Chandos, and have commissioned several modern composers to write Piano Trios as companion pieces for their recordings. Haydn’s Piano Trios are personal favourites of Tim Hill's, so he was very keen to hear them at Djanogly Recital Hall...

Notts Shots: October 2023
Mon 02 Oct 2023Since the late 1940s, the district of St Ann’s has been a richly diverse community and home to diaspora from all over the world, including many people of Afro-Caribbean descent. However, the landscape of the area changed immeasurably post-1960, when much of the nineteenth century terraced housing was demolished. While more structurally sound habitation was built, up to 30,000 residents were rehomed throughout the city, and the community that had developed in St Ann’s was never quite the same.
