Three talented young musicians are set to perform at St. Nicholas Church in the run up to Christmas.

The evening concert will have an emphasis on music for the horn with pieces from Mozart, Schumann, Ligeti and Brahms.

The players will be Ben Goldscheider on horn, Richard Uttley on piano and Callum Smart, violin.

Ben Goldscheider was nominated by the Barbican as an ECHO Rising Star for the 2021/22 season and has given recitals at major concert halls across Europe as well as performing with the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sakari Oramo

Callum Smart is developing a reputation as one of Britain’s finest young violinists. Recognized as a rising star since winning the BBC Young Musician strings category and being the top European prize-winner at the Menuhin Competition in 2010, he now enjoys concert appearances with the UK’s leading orchestras, including re-invitations to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and the Philharmonia Orchestra.

Richard Uttley’s playing has frequently been broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and has featured on BBC Two, BBC Four, BBC World Service, Classic FM and Sky Arts. He won the British Contemporary Piano Competition in 2006 and the Young Classical Artists Trust International Auditions in 2011. He studied at Cambridge University, graduating from Clare College with a Double First in Music, and at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama with Martin Roscoe. Richard has released several solo and appeared at venues and festivals all over the world. He is a piano professor at the Royal College of Music, and also teaches at the RCM Junior Department, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, and City, University of London.

The event takes place on Friday 15 December at 7pm at St Nicholas Church, Church Street, Chiswick, (W4 2PJ).
