Trio Paradis - Jacquelyn Bevan (piano), Ruth O'Shea (violin) & Linda Stocks (cello) - are a classical piano trio based in Bath who perform Café Concerts at community venues across Somerset and Wiltshire: daytime concerts with a café where audience members can chat with friends and make new ones. We perform music in a variety of styles, brought together in a themed programme, and the atmosphere is informal and welcoming.  Our aim is to develop Friendship through Music.

Home: Welcome

Booking is not essential, but an RVSP via the event page is much appreciated as it helps us to plan. Turn up early to be sure of best seats. In church venues it might be an idea to bring a cushion!

 

At the end of each Café Concert there is a retiring collection with pay-what-you-feel donations invited to cover costs.  Trio Paradis play regularly in local care homes in Somerset and Wiltshire; and any surplus from concert donations is used to subsidise the cost of these events.

As of May 2025 Trio Paradis is part of  Cafe Concerts CIO (registered charity no.1213237), whose aim is to bring high quality live music to new audiences, in particular people who find it difficult to attend live performances. These include older people, carers, people living in rural communities, those on a low income and anyone without access to transport to attend evening events.

​​

We are passionate about bringing the music of female composers - and other under-performed composers - to a wider audience, and we include works by women in virtually every one of our concerts since Trio Paradis formed in 2009. Our March programme each year consists exclusively of music by female composers in celebration of International Women's Day.

 

Trio Paradis also play evening concerts and are available to play at weddings, parties and for other occasions. We can put together a tailor-made programme for your event. Email us to enquire.

NEWS! 

We are delighted to have set up a charity in May this year, Cafe Concerts CIO (registered charity no.1213237). This will enable us to develop and extend Cafe Concerts in the future. Watch this space: new donation details coming soon (for now you can still use the PayPal link).​
