United Strings of Europe; Julian Azkoul violin, director ; Tamsin Waley-Cohen violin ; Misha Mullov-Abbado double bass

United Strings of Europe and its director Julian Azkoul, hailed by The Strad for their ‘superb performances’ and ‘stunning precision’, exist to break down barriers and connect audiences through programmes that open minds and hearts to an enriching multiplicity of works. They are joined by Tamsin Waley-Cohen for the world première of the Violin Concerto by jazz bassist and composer Misha Mullov-Abbado, billed by the Guardian as ‘one of the UK’s most acclaimed young bandleaders’.
