Events

St John Ambulance Ealing CN presents the charismatic Polish violinist Irmina Trynkos in the beautiful Chapter Hall of the Museum of the Order of St John.

The evening will begin with a welcome drink and an opportunity to explore the museum before the concert starts promptly at 7 pm.

Irmina Trynkos was born in Radom, Poland. She is a violinist of Polish-Greek heritage: her mother is Polish and her father is Greek. She has lived in the UK since 2005 and studied at the Royal College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music.

Irmina Trynkos has been hailed by BBC Music Magazine as “an intense and charismatic new star” and “a phenomenal talent”. Gramophone calls her simply “excellent” and The Strad praises her for being “an agile and expressive soloist (…whose) poise never falters and matches her sense of power and conviction”. Her recording with Maestro Vladimir Ashkenazy conducting earned her the coveted 5 stars BBC Music Magazine “Concerto Choice” for her “intensity that recalls Isaac Stern’s golden period”. Irmina’s highlights include performances at the Berliner Philharmonie, Wigmore Hall, Southbank Centre, Shanghai Oriental Art Center, and the debut at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, which received no less than 6 standing ovations.

There will be no interval, but after the concert – this is, after all, a fundraiser – there will be further refreshments, and you will be invited to enter a prize draw with some exciting prizes.

This special concert, set in the historic Museum of the Order of St John, will help St John Ambulance continue to train the next generation of first aiders and volunteers. St John Ambulance is far more than a first aid charity. It is a community that provides purpose, belonging and opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds. As a charity, it relies on donations and fundraising to provide the training, equipment and support that enable its volunteers to save lives.
