Beethoven and Mendelssohn performed live by candlelight on Edinburgh's Royal Mile

Step into the candlelight as violinist Ben Norris, cellist Andrew Huggan and pianist Warren Mailley-Smith bring two brilliant piano trios to the magnificent surroundings of St Giles' Cathedral.

Beethoven opens the programme with his Piano Trio in C minor, Op. 1 No. 3, bringing violin, cello and piano together for one of the bold early works that helped establish his reputation in Vienna.

Mendelssohn's Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 49 follows, putting all three musicians firmly in the spotlight as the programme moves from Beethoven into the Romantic era.

With just three musicians, two major chamber works and one spectacular candlelit cathedral, this concert keeps the focus firmly on the music. St Giles' newly installed Steinway grand piano adds another reason to hear these works live.

Whether chamber music is already firmly on your playlist or you're giving it a go for the first time, settle into your seat beneath the Gothic arches and let the violin, cello and piano do the talking.
