For twenty years, Leon Bosch was Principal Double Bass with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. He has performed concertos around the world and served as a guest with ensembles such as the Lindsays, Brodsky Quartet and Zukerman Chamber Players. Leon is committed to rediscovering neglected music, as well as expanding and diversifying the double bass repertoire, and has recorded 16 critically-acclaimed CDs to date.

Nigerian-Romanian pianist Rebeca Omordia is an exciting virtuoso with a wide-ranging career as soloist, chamber musician and recording artist. Described by The Guardian as “the pianist who cast a spell on Lagos”, in recent seasons Rebeca has toured Nigeria as a recitalist and she has performed as a soloist with MUSON Symphony Orchestra in Lagos and Abuja. She has worked with an array of international musicians, including cellists Julian Lloyd Webber and Raphael Wallfisch, pianist Mark Bebbington and saxophonist Amy Dickson.
