The Artists
Milda Daunoraite, born in Anykščial, Lithuania, performed for Kettner Concerts at the National Liberal Club in 2021, when she was praised for the sheer enjoyment and exhilaration and her 'joie de vivre'. A student at the Royal Academy of Music, she was awarded the RAM's prestigious Bicentenary Scholarship for 2025/6, which is supporting her Master's degree.
William Bracken - described by The Telegraph as having "an ability to hold an audience in the palm of his hand", British pianist William Bracken is a unique creative voice who's approach is informed by improvisational state of mind, curiosity and acute contextual awareness. Winner of several major international prizes and with appearances as a soloist at Wigmore Hall and New York's Carnegie Hall under his belt, William was appointed as a member of teaching staff at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London shortly after graduating.
Dominic Degavino, born in Milton Keynes, studied at Chethams School of Music and the Royal Northen College of Music before completing his studies at the Guildhall. A founding member of the Mithras Trio, which as selected to be BBC New Generation Artists for the 2021/23 seasons, Dominic now has a full performing schedule as a soloist, chamber musician, accompanist and jazz player.
The London Mozart Players is the oldest and most adventurous chamber orchestra in the UK. The LMP has a long tradition of inspiring the next generation of musicians and music lovers by promoting young talent. We are honoured to have them send a trio of their finest string soloists to perform these challenging masterworks.
