AAS 2025 Chamber Music Exchange Project
The Society’s 2025 Chamber Music Exchange project is taking place in November, when a piano trio (piano, violin, ‘cello) from the Universität Mozarteum in Salzburg (Trio Rupnik) will be meeting and making music with a piano trio from the Royal College of Music, London (Rossetti Trio).
On the evening of Wednesday 12th November, during the week when the two trios are together in Salzburg, they will be giving a concert in the Wiener Saal of the Stiftung Mozarteum. In the following week, when they are together in London, there will be two evening concerts, each with a different programme, each with an Anglo-Austrian theme.
Both London events will begin quite early (about 6pm or 6.30pm) and will end with a reception, during which it will be possible to meet and talk with the young performers.
For the first London concert, at The Warburg Institute (WC1H 0AB) on Tuesday 18th November, each of the trios will perform a Mozart Piano Trio. There will also be a talk about the links between the trios, Vienna and London. You will find here some more photos and details of the concert that the Society gave at the Warburg Institute earlier this year. It is a lovely venue.
For the second concert, at the Austrian Embassy (SW1X 8PX) on Thursday 20th November, the musicians will perform music by Korngold, Bridge, Britten and Brahms.

Stammtisch meetings
Visit to the Austrian Embassy
On Friday 13 June, a group of members from the Society had the pleasure of visiting the historic Austrian Embassy building in London. The visit was kindly hosted by Anna Pernegger, Press Attaché at the Embassy, who welcomed attendees and gave a unique insight into the history of the building. We were guided through the different rooms with their decor, paintings and artwork. It was appreciated by everyone, and provided a helpful historical context in which members could think about well known people who have visited the Embassy over the many years. After the tour, members had the opportunity to meet and speak to the Ambassador, who was a gracious host over tea, making it a memorable occasion for all. The Society extends its sincere thanks to the Ambassador and Anna Pernegger for their time and generosity.
