The Delphine Trio performs a programme of chamber music featuring works by Beethoven, Camille PĂ©pin and Carl FrĂĽhling at the Brighton Dome.
On 20 May 2026, the Brighton Dome will host the Delphine Trio for an evening of chamber music. The ensemble, which features Magdalenna Krstevska on clarinet, Jobine Siekman on cello, and Roelof Temmingh on piano, is scheduled to perform a varied programme.

The programme begins with Beethoven’s 'Trio in B-flat major, Op. 11'. As an early work, it is structured around jaunty variations that stem from a catchy operatic melody, providing a clear look at the composer's earlier style. This is followed by 'Snow, Moon & Flowers', a 2018 composition by Camille Pépin. These pieces are written as a set of impressionist miniatures, with the music specifically inspired by the imagery found in Tokyo woodblock prints. This section of the evening offers a shift in tone, moving from the classical structure of Beethoven into more contemporary, atmospheric territory, allowing the audience to hear how the trio navigates these different musical textures.
The concert concludes with the 'Trio in C minor, Op. 40' by Carl FrĂĽhling. FrĂĽhling was an Austrian-Jewish composer whose work has not always received the same level of attention as his contemporaries. Written in 1925, this trio is a post-Romantic piece that stands out for its lush sound and unpretentious warmth. The composition is noted for its sense of humour and gentle charm, which provides a distinct finish to the programme. By including this work, the Delphine Trio highlights a piece that is often overlooked in standard chamber music repertoires. The evening at the Brighton Dome serves as an opportunity to hear these three specific works performed by a group that has recently established itself within the chamber music circuit, offering a balanced look at both well-known and less frequently performed compositions.
