Chamber
With an impressive and long-standing career as a chamber musician, Jan has developed an involved insight into the concentrated and intimate art of chamber music.
Angell Trio
“They combine very sensitive musicianship with warm and outgoing personalities and a genuine enjoyment of communicating with their audiences.”
“A very fine ensemble indeed, full of spirit and personality”
“It would be hard to imagine a more powerful performance”
“Haydn’s Gipsy Rondo Trio danced away with great panache and drama... the highlight of the evening was Brahms Trio in B major, in which the group’s timbral variety made this well-loved work shine in new lights.”
Jan is a founding member of critically acclaimed piano trio, the Angell Trio. Based in London, the Angell Trio was formed at the Britten-Pears School for Advanced Musical Studies and has returned on many occasions to Aldeburgh, performing several times in the Snape Maltings. It was the first piano trio to take part in the coveted winter Residency series for young ensembles. Studies in the past with Andras Schiff, Menahem Pressler of the Beaux Arts Trio and Siegmund Nissel of the Amadeus String Quartet have contributed greatly to the emergence of the Angell Trio.
The Trio has performed at many major festivals in the UK, broadcast on Radio 3 and made regular appearances in London's concert halls including Kings Place, the South Bank Centre, Blackheath Halls, the Royal Opera House and the Wigmore Hall. They have toured extensively in Europe, with performances in leading series in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and many live broadcasts for major stations in Munich, Frankfurt and Stuttgart, as well as for Swiss Radio in Basel and Bern, and for NHK-TV in Japan.
Contemporary premieres
Committed to contemporary music by living composers, Jan has given premieres of new music by numerous composers, including Jörg Widmann, Wolfgang Rihm, James MacMillan, Jordan Hunt, John Woolrich and Martin Suckling.
