England cricketing legend Graham Gooch OBE is the highest run-scorer of all time, and his 67,057 runs across first class and limited-overs cricket is more even than Sachin Tendulkar’s tally.
One of only 25 players to have scored over 100 first-class centuries, he is a three time Ashes winner, captained England to a World Cup final, and his famous 333 against India is the highest Test score ever at Lord’s.
In 2012 he became England’s batting coach, working with greats including Kevin Pietersen and Joe Root. Gooch’s experience of the game simply can’t be bettered, and he has the stories to prove it!
The event finishes at approx. 9.15pm, including one interval.

Composed in the 1940s and bursting with late-Romantic intensity, George Enescu’s Piano Quartet No.2 reveals bold harmonic language and deep lyricism.

Bridge’s Phantasy Piano Quartet blends Romantic warmth with early 20th-century English nuance. Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s Shades of Silence offers a striking shift, exploring an atmospheric and eerie sound world of delicate string textures and moments of stillness. The energy steps up with Schumann’s radiant Quartet in E flat, an earlier work for this combination of instruments, showing the beauty and drama of the early-Romantic style.

Jubilee Goes Global presents Buena Vista Social Club Night with the Edgar Macias Quintet
UK-based Venezuelan pianist Edgar Macias has become a highly regarded performer known for his versatility across genres ranging from jazz to salsa. Over the course of his impressive career, he has collaborated with acclaimed artists such as Wynton Marsalis, David Murray, Scott Hamilton, and Bobby Wellins.

Joined by Chris Bowden (saxophone), Tom Hill (bass/vocals), Miles Levin (drums), and Néstor Pedrales (percussion), Edgar offers his own interpretation of the iconic record through fresh Latin jazz arrangements of its timeless songs.
‘A superb quintet (…) who collectively created a compelling mix of Cuban percussive rhythm and jazz improvisation on what was a careful thoughtful crafted re-arranged intoxicating project’. ‘(…) a stand up ovation from a packed enthusiastic audience’
– Paul R. Croft, The Blue Room at Lincoln, UK

The Piano Trio was the medium by which Beethoven announced himself to the world with his Op.1 set. It is followed by Helen Grime’s Miniatures, inspired by three chalk and pastel works by Whistler, which explore intimate atmospheres and subtle gradations of palate. The programme is completed by Fauré’s Piano Trio in D minor, written at the very end of the composer’s life.
Founded in Basel in 2023, Trio Archai has quickly gained international recognition through winning First Prize and Beethoven Prize at the Schoenfeld International String Competition 2025 in China, and First Prize at the 72nd Royal Over-Seas League Competition 2024 in London. Their performances have taken them to prestigious venues and festivals including Wigmore Hall, St George’s Bristol, Schaffhausen Klassik, Swiss Chamber Music Festival, and Whittington Festival.
The name Archai (pronounced “Ark-ai”), from the Ancient Greek for “origins” or “first principles”, reflects the ensemble’s shared musical values and their commitment to grow together.
