Five outstanding musicians come together for a special lunchtime concert at Milton Keynes City Church next Saturday (Feb 20), at 11.30am.
Violinists Clare Wheeler and Vicky Moran, viola player Chris Beckett, cellist Michael Wigram and pianist Lynn Carter are collectively known as the Amalia Ensemble.
They have won top prizes in festivals and competitions, both as ensemble musicians and individual soloists.
Their programme includes Schubert's much-loved String Quartet in D Minor ('Death and the Maiden') and Shostakovich's great Piano Quintet in G minor.
Cellist Mike has another 'string to his bow' too, and will be running the London Marathon in April to raise money for Brain Tumour Research.
All proceeds from Saturday's concert will be donated to the charity.
Admission is £8 (concessions £7.50) is by programme at the door.
