Guildhall Wigmore Prize Recital

Each year, the prestigious Guildhall Wigmore Recital Prize is awarded to an exceptional musician from Guildhall School of Music & Drama, offering them the opportunity to perform at London’s world-famous Wigmore Hall.

Our 2026 prize winner, award-winning Serbian double bassist Strahinja Mitrović, is joined by pianist Chloé Dumoulin for a compelling programme that showcases the double bass as a powerful and poetic solo voice.

The programme showcases the expressive range of the double bass through vivid reimaginings and bold contemporary writing. Mozart’s Violin Sonata and Schumann’s Violin Sonata No. 1 take on new colour in striking arrangements for double bass and piano. The programme includes the world premiere of Fergus Brignall’s Sketches from the Fragments, Fauré’s elegant Romance and Liebermann’s dramatic Sonata for double bass and piano which lead into Schumann’s Fantasiestücke.

A bold and imaginative artist, Mitrović’s Wigmore Hall debut marks a significant milestone in his rapidly rising career and a celebration of Guildhall’s vibrant community of young performers.

This concert will be approximately 2 hours in duration, including an interval
