Darren Moore and Jeremiah Stephenson began playing together whilst studying at the Royal Academy of Music. They gave their first performance of Petr Eben’s Okna at St John’s Smith Square. Since then they have added a wide selection of music spanning over four hundred years. As well as early music they are enthusiastic about creating new works for the duo and so were delighted to perform a new work by the award winning composer David Loxley-Blount, Inflemus. Darren and Jeremiah also enjoy improvising as a duo, something that allows them to push each other musically and to learn from one another in a creative process.

One of their first recitals together was for Darren’s Masters of Music final recital in 2014, earning him a Dip.RAM for high quality of performance and artistic programming. Since then they have performed in prestigious venues including Hampton Court Palace Chapel, All Saints’ Church in Marlow, and at St Lawrence Jewry where the premier of Inflemus took place.

Much of the repertoire they have explored together has been unsurprisingly influenced by religious works of art including that of Marc Chagall. They find that the combination of instruments has such a wide range of sounds available to them that every recital can incorporate many genres and timbres including a number of different types of trumpets and the awesome range of dynamics and characters of the organ.

Future projects will include more experimentation with electronics and improvisation.

Each of them enjoy considerable success as soloists.

Claire and Ian are also both celebrated radio broadcasters and their easy anecdotal stagecraft makes for an often hilarious, yet moving experience of great music. They have both toured the world in an array of musical formats, from their individual work with their own smaller ensembles, to performing with some of the most celebrated orchestras of the world. Tonight however, it is their twenty-year duo format that makes this such a unique and intimate show. Ian is delighted to be returning to the beautiful St Andrew’s Church in Surbiton as part of this wonderful concert series and to perform with his great friend Claire Martin in their Xmas Special.

The Ducasse Trio was formed in 2010 when they met as students at the Paris Conservatoire. Since then the Trio has gone on to undertake residencies at the Academie Musicale de Villecroze (France) and Academie de Musique Tibor Varga (Switzerland) working with Paul Meyer and Gilbert Audin and earlier this year attended IMS Prussia Cove working with Thomas Adès. The Trio has won several awards including a Worshipful Company of Musicians’ award, Concordia’s Barthel Prize and were finalists in YCAT 2016.

Recent highlights include their debut at Wigmore Hall and recitals at Bridgewater Hall, St John’s Smith Square, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Cadogan Hall and the Bishopsgate Institute. In 2015 the trio embarked upon their first national tour of Ireland, performing at the Clifden Arts Festival, West Cork Chamber Music Festival and culminating in a debut at the National Concert Hall Ireland. This summer the Trio record their debut CD for Claudio Records and give recitals at Petworth Festival, Kilkennny Arts and Wexford Festivals.

Passionate about presenting the many neglected works for this ensemble to new audiences, the Trio has also commissioned and championed new repertoire, notably works by Christian Dachez. The Trio is currently in the process of commissioning pieces from Charlotte Bray and other notable young composers.

All three members of the trio enjoy individual success.
