PLEASE NOTE THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE TO THIS CONCERT (28/1/31)

Unfortunately Juliana Koch is unable to perform due to unforeseen circumstances. We are delighted that flautist Silvija Ščerbavičiūtė has kindly agreed to replace her for this performance.

Silvija Ščerbavičiūtė is the principal flute of RTE Radio Concert Orchestra in Dublin, Ireland, since February 2021. Silvija graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in London, UK, with a First Class Honours Bachelor’s degree in July 2017, where she studied with Michael Cox, Helen Keen (piccolo) and Lisa Beznosiuk (baroque traverso). While at RAM, Silvija received the Regency Award of Notable Achievement and won the Patrons Award, which led to a solo recital at Wigmore Hall in May 2017.
