We eavesdrop on rehearsals at The Warehouse Waterloo, as Chineke! Chamber Ensemble invites us into the world of Schubert's iconic Trout Quintet. As they prepare for an upcoming series of concerts together, we get the insider's perspective on how this music works, the process of bringing it to life on stage, and why it's such a players' favourite. Along with the pianist Tom Poster, the quintet share thoughts and stories about playing this piece, and the joys and challenges of being a chamber musician. Chineke! Chamber Ensemble: Zara Benyounes, violin Stephen Upshaw, viola Ashok Klouda, cello Stewart Goodyear, piano Chi-chi Nwanoku, double bass With additional recordings from the Alban Berg Quartet.
