Violinist Isabelle van Keulen, violist Lawrence Power and cellist, Kate Gould make the Leopold String Trio a truly all-star ensemble. Their concerts are dominated by music written by Mozart and Beethoven in their 30s: early for Beethoven but late for Mozart. They play solo, duo, trio and quartet (with Zacharias) making every concert as varied as it is delightful.

Sheila Chandra first found fame as an actress - in Grange Hill - but I heard her first performing an astonishing piece of mouth-music inspired by tabla playing. That was 15 years ago, and she has continued to follow her own path musically, exploring aspects of Asian and European vocal traditions en route. Her fascination with drones has brought her close to the piping traditions of Scotland, and she had a great success with her recording of McCrimmond's Lament. Her performance at East Neuk Festival contributes to a mini-strand of contrasting vocal traditions - the others being English (The Orlando Consort and Tuvan (Huun Huur Tu). They are programmed to complement and contrast with each other.
