They formed the quintet in 2006 when they were students at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.

The concert at the High Street Methodist Church starts at 7.30pm.

Tickets, priced £11, are available in advance from Music Stand in High Street or Greenway Antiques in Corn Street, or on the door.
