Peter Mallinson enjoys both modern and period viola performance. A member of the BBC Symphony Orchestra since 2012, he has also played with the London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, the Hanover Band, and Arcangelo. As a soloist Peter has given many first performances, including the UK premiere of Sally Beamish’s That Recent Earth, and the world premieres of Robin Holloway’s Suite en Saga, Edwin Roxburgh’s Sonata for Three, and Detlev Glanert’s The Pleiades. He recently released Brief Encounters with Meridian Records; a two-CD set which explores the notion of brevity in music through the works of 23 different composers. Before studying at the Royal Academy of Music with Martin Outram and Jane Rogers, Peter read music at St Catharine’s College, Cambridge.

Lynn Arnold is recognised for her “glorious pianism” (MusicWeb International) and collaborative musicianship. A founding member of the Warwick Piano Trio, Lynn plays with artists including Francesca Barritt, Bozidar Vukotic, and Roderick Williams. She is an advocate of British music and has recorded to much critical acclaim with the Tippett Quartet, with piano duet partner Charles Matthews, and with violist Peter Mallinson, for Dutton Epoch, Toccata Classics, Convivium Records, Albion Records, and Meridian Records. An alumna of Cambridge University and the Royal Academy of Music, and a former Park Lane Group Young Artist, Lynn studied with Vanessa Latarche, Michael Dussek and Patsy Toh. She is on the staff of the Royal Academy of Music Junior Department and has coached chamber music at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.
