Huw Wiggin, saxophone
Huw Wiggin is a British saxophonist who has performed at major venues worldwide, including the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing, Wigmore Hall, and the Royal Albert Hall. Following his debut at the Purcell Room, The Times praised his “liquid gold tones and enviable breath control.”
He was awarded First Prize and Gold Medal at the Royal Over-Seas League Annual Music Competition, where he was also named ‘Commonwealth Musician of the Year’. Since then, he has established a distinguished career as both soloist and chamber musician.
His debut recording Reflections (Orchid Classics), with pianist John Lenehan, reached No. 2 in the UK Specialist Classical Chart, followed by Rhapsody (2023) with pianist Noriko Ogawa. His latest album, Elements (2026), is a collaboration with harpist Oliver Wass, featuring six new commissions alongside Baroque works for saxophone and harp.
Anita D'Attellis, piano
Anita D'Attellis started her career as an accompanist, with recitals at the Brighton and Cheltenham International Festivals, Snape Maltings, the Royal Festival Hall, and the Symphony Hall in Birmingham. She continues to enjoy her accompanying work, playing for various choirs and instrumentalists across the UK. Additionally, she performs with saxophonist Huw Wiggin and oboist Julia White on cruise ships worldwide.
She developed a passion for chamber music at a young age, playing in a piano trio while still at school, which won national competitions that led to performances at the Royal Albert Hall, the Purcell Room, and St. John’s Smith Square. After a degree in music, she furthered her piano studies at the Royal Academy of Music with Vanessa Latarche. She also studied privately with the renowned Russian pedagogue, Dina Parakhina.
