JW3, the Jewish Community Centre London, is celebrating ten years and its classical season is returning for 2024/25 with six concerts beginning with pianist Steven Osborne in evocations of childhood from Debussy and Schumann plus Schubert’s Piano Sonata in A major, D.959.

Tenor Ian Bostridge and pianist Mishka Rushdie Momen join forces for Schubert’s Schwanengesang, divided into two groups, with the poems by Rellstab and Heine, interleaved with songs by Fauré. Momen returns with Anthony Marwood (violin), Garfield Jackson (viola), David Waterman (cello) for a chamber music recital featuring Fauré’s Piano Quartet No. 2 and Brahms’ Piano Quartet no.3 in C minor.

In the New Year, the Doric String Quartet performs Haydn, Britten and Beethoven, then Sini Simonen (violin), Alasdair Beatson (piano). We return to piano chamber music as Garfield Jackson (viola), David Waterman (cello) perform Schubert, Schumann and Dvorak’s Piano Quartet no.2 in E flat major, and there are piano quartets by Fauré and Brahms in the final concert of the series, featuring Irène Duval (violin), Asbjørn Nørgaard (viola), David Waterman (cello) and Connie Shih (piano).
