In places\, there was true beauty but never as an end in itself: everything served a higher conception of the music. I have rarely been so excited by performers new to me.” –Strings Attached \nSeen as one of the most exciting chamber ensembles of their generation\, the Paddington Trio has been recognized in international competitions and live performances for their fresh interpretations and exuberant energy. As did the famous bear\, Finnish violinist Tuulia Hero\, Irish cellist Patrick Moriarty and American pianist Stephanie Tang have made London their home and emerged as an ensemble of an entirely unique and lasting entity. The trio is celebrated for its close and energetic communication\, insightful and imaginative programming as well as its highly refined ensemble playing. The trio’s grand mission is to bridge the gap between new listeners and serious classical music enthusiasts by welcoming everyone into their living room of musical discovery and shared love of chamber music.  \nHaving started their first adventure together at the Paddington Station in 2020\, a year after they met\, the trio won the First Prize in the 70th Royal Over-Seas League Competition for Strings & Piano Ensemble. Firmly committed to promoting new music\, education and outreach in chamber music\, they were also honoured with the First Prize of the NEW FORMATS Project Prize 2022 in Graz\, Austria\, and the First Prize at the Clara Schumann International Competition. In April 2023\, they were the winners of the prestigious Parkhouse Award held in Wigmore Hall\, and they are currently generously supported by the City Music Foundation\, Kirckman Concert Society and GBZ Management. In the summer of 2023\, the trio completed an Artist Fellowship programme at their alma mater\, the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London\, and in 2023/24 continues to teach and inspire young ensembles as Chamber Fellows in the renowned Chamber Fellowship Programme at the Royal Northern College of Music.  \nIn March 2023\, the Paddington Trio made its concerto debut performing the Beethoven Triple Concerto with Jan Söderblom and the Jyväskylä Symphony Orchestra in Finland.

Their most recent debuts saw them at the TivoliVredenburg and the Schiermonnikoog Festival in the Netherlands\, the Edinburgh Fringe\, Buxton International and Brighton Festivals\, and Lake District Summer Music.

They join the European Chamber Music Academy in 2023 and also receive mentorships from ChamberStudio and the Netherlands String Quartet Academy. The trio studied under Thomas Adès at the IMS Prussia Cove’s 50th anniversary masterclasses. \nTuulia plays on a 1707 Stradivarius violin\, generously on loan from the Sibelius Academy\, University of the Arts Helsinki. \nTuulia Hero is an award-winning concert violinist and chamber musician\, as well as an accomplished improviser and educator currently based in London. Originally from Finland\, Tuulia was trained in violin from the age of 4 and brought up at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki\, the Hanns Eisler School of Music in Berlin and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. Playing a Stradivarius violin from 1707\, generously lent to her by the Sibelius Academy\, University of the Arts Helsinki\, Tuulia is the 2024 artistic grant recipient of the Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation in Finland. Tuulia gave her debut in 2012 at the Kauniainen International Music Festival and has since been invited to perform at the Presidential Palace in Finland\, Wigmore Hall in London\, Konzerthaus in Berlin\, and numerous festivals and concerts around Europe\, North America and Eastern Asia.  \nA native of Los Angeles\, Stephanie Tang performed in Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall at the age of 12 and has since then performed in major venues such as Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles)\, Shenzhen Concert Hall\, Himalayan Concert Hall (Shanghai)\, Sendai Concert Hall\, venues throughout the Netherlands\, Place Flagey (Brussels)\, Wigmore Hall\, Barbican Centre\, Milton Court (London)\, Banff Centre\, and Koerner Hall (Toronto).

SUMMARY:The Art of Mindfulness
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 5th from 6:45p-8:00p for “The Art of Mindfulness” at MoCA Westport. This meditative workshop is designed to be inclusive and welcoming for participants of all backgrounds and experience levels. In this program\, participants embark on a journey of self-awareness and bond with others through practicing mindfulness during a gallery tour at MoCA Westport\, culminating in a sound bath meditation experience led by Lisa Pak of Hummingbird Healing Center. \nSound bath meditations have been shown to reduce stress\, enable deep relaxation\, strengthen the immune system\, enhance creativity\, and uplift the spirit. Participants begin by lying down on yoga mats (think Savasana) and use blankets\, bolsters\, eye pillows\, and other props to become comfortable while the sound starts to “wash” over you. \nLisa uses a wide palate of sound healing instruments\, including gongs\, Himalayan bowls\, crystal bowls\, Native American-style flute\, percussion\, and vocals. She leads you through a journey of the senses\, eventually resting in a profound space of deep inner peace. \nRegister Here
