Formed in 2020, Wigmore Soloists comprise a roster of outstanding musicians, led by clarinettist Michael Collins. The group gives regular concerts at Wigmore Hall, and in other major venues around the world. The ensemble has recorded five discs with BIS Records, which have received high critical acclaim from Gramophone, BBC Music Magazine, and The Strad.

Following works by two leading Scandinavian composers, they play Beethoven’s entertaining Septet.
