Post-performance Talk Back

Kułakowski is already delighting audiences, both in person and online, with his marvellous technique and assurance.

— Gramophone Magazine

These two wonderful young performers are alumni of Young Classical Artists Trust (YCAT) in London, and have given stellar performances together at Wigmore Hall. They both appeared on our series in recent years — Maciej as part of a chamber trio and Jean-Sélim in a solo recital. Both of them impressed us greatly and we’re delighted to welcome them back as a duo.

An uncommonly poetic musician.

— The New York Times (Abdelmoula)
