<em>Well, if you are in London, there is also a superb new “Salon” venue for chamber music in town, it is the 1901 Arts Club.&nbsp; This small and uniquely intimate venue has only been open to the public for a couple of years… and it is already a great venue for great performances, and also for rehearsals with its own concert Steinway grand.</em></p> <p><em>This season I heard <b>Benjamin Grosvenor</b> and the <b>Steinberg Duo</b> there.&nbsp; Both were astounding performances. &nbsp;</em></p> <p><em>The intimacy of the performances in a small “Salon” gives the listener,</em> and performers, <em>a new insight and love of chamber music.&nbsp;&nbsp;There is no stage, so there are no boundaries between artists and their audience.&nbsp; Having listened and loved chamber music all my life, and regularly go to the Wigmore Hall (and regular Radio 3 listener), hearing the music in such a small “Salon” for the first time was not like any other concert.&nbsp; Suddenly, I could hear and feel the dynamics, nuances and intimate rapport between the players so much more clearly.&nbsp; And for solo performers the immediacy and clarity of every note in such a space, means technically great skill is needed to adjust in providing a very personal expression and performance. &nbsp;</em></p> <p><em>After the concerts, often the performers mingle in the lounge room and bar, over a glass of wine.&nbsp; The maximum audience is about 45, so with such an informal setting it allows a great opportunity for ideas to be shared and the performance to be discussed. &nbsp;</em></p> <p><em>Next season, the <b><a href="http://www.1901artsclub.com/diary-of-events-01.html" target="">Steinberg Duo</a></b> are making a return.&nbsp;
