About
The 2026 Fitzroy Chamber Music Series season begins in brilliant style as internationally renowned virtuoso artists Rachael Beesley (violin) and Coady Green (piano) ignite the stage with A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This sparkling program glitters with Mozart’s wit and fire, the radiant lyricism of Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn, the tender intimacy of Clara Schumann, and the rich Romantic colours of Emilie Mayer.
