Jason Anderson’s ‘Piano Quintet’, written for the ensemble, grows out of the simple unison melody which opens the  piece. Gradually elaborated and given extra layers, it builds slowly and inevitably towards the piano’s thundering bell-like tolls at the end.

Performed at St. Peter’s Church, Notting Hill on 25 May 2012.
