Adolphe Blanc (24 June 1828 - May 1885) was a French composer of chamber music.
Blanc was born in Manosque, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. At the age of 13 he was sent to study violin at the Paris Conservatoire. Though he studied under Fromental Halévy, and though his one-act comic opera Les Deux Billets was performed in 1868, Blanc's refined music lies in the Romantic Viennese tradition of hausmusik for private performance, music that was essentially peripheral to the public musical life of contemporary Paris, centered on opera, and Blanc has been largely overlooked. There are three string trios, four string quartets, seven string quintets of various configurations, 15 piano trios, piano quartets and quintets as well as settings and arrangements, songs, pieces for piano and violin, choral works and some orchestral works.
He was conductor at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris, 1855 - 1860, and died in Paris.

Jeremy Polmear was educated at the Choir School and King's School in Canterbury, and was a member of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain while studying with its then oboe professor Janet Craxton. After a Science degree at Cambridge University (where he also played the Strauss concerto with the University orchestra) he worked for IBM for five years.

Stephen Stirling, a renowned horn soloist, has appeared at almost every major British venue, and with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, BBC NOW, BBC SSO, the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and the Orchestra of St John's. His recording of Mozart Horn Concertos with the City of London Sinfonia features constantly on Classic FM, and he gave the world première of Gary Carpenter's Horn Concerto with the BBC Philharmonic on Radio 3. He holds the unique distinction of having been the soloist for the opening of both of London's newest purpose built concert halls - Cabot Hall and King's Place.

Richard Saxel is a concert pianist who is establishing a reputation as one of the finest chamber music pianists and accompanists of his generation. He was educated at Churcher's College, Petersfield, studied the piano with the late Clifford Benson whilst at the University of York, and then later with Michael Dussek as a postgraduate at the Royal Academy of Music.
