Cellist Guy Johnston writes about the creation of the Bechstein Piano Trio, formed for the opening of London’s new Bechstein Hall:
Earlier this year, pianist Emmanuel Despax received a dream invitation to form a piano trio for the opening of the new Bechstein Hall this season. He immediately set about finding the players, and through various conversations initially with me, we led on to inviting violinist Priya Mitchell to join the new Bechstein Trio.
