Tickets £12 include coffee and croissant!
Fenella Humphreys, winner of BBC Music Magazine Awards in 2025, 2023 and 2018, has attracted critical admiration and audience acclaim with the grace and intensity of her remarkable performances.
Artist in Residence at London’s Wigmore Hall for the 2025/6 season, Fenella has been enjoying premieres of new works by Sally Beamish, Tom Coult, Stephen McNeff and Anna Berg as well as performances with orchestras including CBSO and London Mozart Players.
Fenella performs widely as a soloist. Her recent album of Sibelius’ solo works with BBC National Orchestra of Wales has been featured in BBC Radio 3’s Building a Library and Gramophone Magazine’s Guide to the Concerto. BBC Music Magazine wrote of the recording: “Fenella Humphreys’s playing is a genuine revelation in the way it brings out the music’s dark and introspective qualities, with no shortage of technical panache.” Released in 2024, her Chandos recording of Adrian Sutton’s Violin Concerto with BBC Philharmonic won BBC Music Magazine’s 2025 Premiere Award, with the Strad Magazine writing “Humphreys brings her endlessly unfurling violin lines taut, silvery weightlessness.” The concerto was written for her in 2023, and premiered at the Southbank Centre with the RPO.
Fenella plays on a beautiful G.B. Guadagnini violin kindly on loan from Jonathan Sparey.

J.S. Bach (1685-1750) - Sonata in G minor BWV 1001 (1720)
