The London Chamber Ensemble will be performing in Cilgerran, Lampeter, and Aberystwyth in October.

The ensemble, known for live performances on BBC Radio 3, will begin their West Wales tour on October 27.

The first concert, featuring a piano trio, will be held at Rhosygilwen, Cilgerran, at 7.30pm.

The programme will include works by Lili Boulanger, Brahms, and Dvorak.

The ensemble will be led by violinist Madeleine Mitchell, who formed the group following a recital for Lampeter Music Club at the start of her career.

She will be joined by cellist Kirsten Jenson and pianist Julian Milford.

On October 29, the ensemble will perform at Lampeter Music Club, Old Hall, University of Wales Trinity Saint David, College Street, Lampeter, at 7.30pm.

The programme will feature pieces by Haydn, Howells, Grace Williams, and Ravel.

The ensemble will also perform at Ceredigion Museum, Aberystwyth, on October 30 at 7.30pm, with the same repertoire as the Lampeter concert.

The ensemble's new album of Howells and Wood quartets, all first recordings of works written between 1916 and 1920, will be released on October 18.

The album will be available for signing at the concerts.

The ensemble will play Howells's quartet "In Gloucestershire" in Lampeter and Aberystwyth.

The concerts are supported by the Arts Council of Wales Night Out Scheme.

For the concert at Rhosygilwen Manor, Madeleine Mitchell, whose grandparents were from Cardigan, will be joined by cellist Kirsten Jenson and pianist Julian Milford.

Their programme will feature romantic piano trios by Brahms and Dvorak, who were friends, plus a short work by Lili Boulanger, the first woman to win the Prix de Rome.

Dinner and accommodation are also available at Rhosygilwen.

The ensemble's tour of West Wales is a homecoming for Madeleine Mitchell, who has enjoyed giving many concerts throughout Wales.

She has performed as a soloist with BBC National Orchestra of Wales, in festivals, for BBC Radio 3, for the televised BBC Wales Arts Awards, and founded her Red Violin festival, with Lord Menuhin as patron, staged throughout Cardiff.

The London Chamber Ensemble was formed after Madeleine Mitchell was asked by the Vale of Glamorgan Festival to form a group for Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time, which was a great success.

This led to a concert for the BBC Proms and an acclaimed recording.
