Booking information

Trio Lavolta was formed in 1995 and made its debut at Blackheath Concert Halls with a programme that included a new work commissioned for the occasion. Since then the trio has given recitals at many of the City of London churches and at music clubs throughout the country. The trio aims to offer innovative programmes of lesser known and contemporary works alongside the standard repertoire.

The trio has also developed a series of programmes of words and music in collaboration with actors, Louise Jameson and David Warwick. The first of these, ‘A private view of Christina Rossetti’; was performed at Trinity Arts Centre in Tunbridge Wells. It included specially commissioned music for the poem ‘Goblin Market’. Other programmes in this series exploring the juxtaposition of words and music are ‘The Seven Ages of Man’ based on the famous speech from Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’; ‘Lest We Forget’; ‘A Christmas Carousal’, performed at Finchcocks and ‘Victorian Variety’, performed as part of the Richard Burnett Heritage Collection’s concert series.

Sadly, the founder pianist of the trio, Sally Mays, passed away in April 2018. Felix and Joyce are grateful to Simon Marlow for agreeing to join the trio.

Future plans include a ‘Mr and Mrs Schumann’ programme, which will be performed for the Richard Burnett Heritage Collection in Tunbridge Wells on October 20 2019 to commemorate the 200 th anniversary of Clara Schumann’s birth.
