Isimsiz (meaning ‘no name’ in Turkish) will be playing two of the greatest works of the piano trio repertoire, Beethoven’s Ghost Trio and the Tchaikovsky’s largescale piano trio, together with an exciting, highly charged piece by Wolfgang Rihm, whose music has not been played in Kelso before.

The trio were formed at the Guildhall School of Music in 2009.
