BBC Young Musician winner (2012) and Royal Philharmonic Society’s Instrumentalist of the Year (2025), cellist Laura van der Heijden teams up with award-winning pianist Jâms Coleman for a rich programme from the Belle Époque, including works by Franck, Fauré, and the Boulanger sisters. Praised for her ‘deeply thoughtful’ playing (BBC Music Magazine), Laura is one of the leading cellists of her generation. Jâms, known for his ‘thrilling variety’ and ‘imagination at the piano,’ brings depth and colour to this sumptuous celebration of French romanticism.
