TWO OUTSTANDING young musicians are to perform in Sutton House Music Society’s summer concert on Sunday 17 June 2012 at 7pm. Violinist Lana Trotovsek and pianist Yoko Misumi, who have played the house's concert hall as members of the Greenwich Trio, will perform Schubert's Sonatina in A minor, Ernest Bloch's Baal Shem Suite and Brahms' Sonata No. 3.

The summer concerts have become popular with music-lovers in northeast London for the complimentary strawberries and cream on offer in the beguiling Tudor courtyard. Sparkling wine and champagne cocktails are available from the licensed café.

Lana Trotovsek studied under Ruggiero Ricci at Salzburg’s Mozarteum. The winner of many international competitions and prizes, this young Slovenian has performed at St John’s Smith Square in London, Amsterdam's Concertgebouw and Vienna's Konzerthaus, and on other great stages in Europe. She has premiered and recorded works for violin and orchestra that were specially written for her. Her partner at Sutton House, Yoko Misumi, was born in Kyoto to a musical family. Her talent became evident at 14, when she won her first prize. Once she had completed high school, she left Japan for London to continue her music studies. She has been a soloist under James Judd and Barry Wordsworth, among other renowned conductors, and has played at Kyoto Concert Hall, the Concertgebouw, St Martin-in-the-Fields, Kings Place and the Wigmore Hall.

No need for you to travel to such venues: you can see these star performers in Sutton House's music venue, Wenlock Barn. The last two SHMS concerts sold out, so buy early on line at www.shms.org.uk to avoid disappointment.

● Tickets are: £10; concessions (proof required) £8; and children and students under 26, disabled people and their carers free. The event includes an interval, during which concert-goers can snack on the free strawberries and delicacies and buy drinks from the licensed in-house café.
