Helm Classical Sessions: Daria Bitsiuk & Chloe Latchmore

Join us for an intimate classical concert at Helm, one of South London’s most atmospheric and welcoming spaces.

Pianist and founder of London Keys Ensemble Daria Bitsiuk and Mezzo-soprano Chloe Latchmore present an evening of music that moves across traditions and moods: from the warmth of Dvořák and the wit of Poulenc, to the luminous world of Debussy and the jazz-inflected brilliance of Kapustin.

This is music performed up close, in conversation with the room and with you. No distance between performer and audience, just music, voice and the space between them.

Beyond the Traditional Recital

Programmes designed as conversations across repertoire, culture and time.

London Keys Ensemble approaches chamber music as a collaborative and narrative-driven art form.

Rather than presenting isolated works, programmes are carefully structured to create connections between composers, traditions and artistic perspectives. Repertoire moves across eras and styles, creating performances that feel intellectually engaging, emotionally immediate and culturally resonant.

A central strand of the ensemble’s work explores Ukrainian music within the wider European tradition, highlighting continuity, influence and shared musical language across generations.

Audience & Artist Perspectives

Reflections from audiences, collaborators and cultural professionals.

"Echoes of Ukraine offered a programme of striking variety and outstanding performances, connected through storytelling and underpinned by personal and collective identity. It was presented in a way that created a rare sense of closeness, allowing the audience to truly encounter the artists and gain cultural insight through music. From the fragile, suspended spirituality of Angel to the virtuosity of Extravagant Dances, the evening was deeply moving and meaningful. I not only heard the music, I connected with the performers and came away with a deeper sense of their lives and culture. These are artists, and a programme, I would wholeheartedly support being shared more widely."

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Daria as part of the London Keys Ensemble over the past few years, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to develop our shared musical voice and identity together. More recently, our focus on a programme of Ukrainian music has been especially enriching, offering me the chance to explore a repertoire that was largely new to me. It’s been a joy to bring this music to a growing audience and to be part of such a dynamic, collaborative ensemble."

"The recent London Keys Ensemble concert ‘Echoes of Ukraine’ at the Guildhall Music Hall displayed a sensitive mix of emotions and styles drawing it’s audience into a beautiful world of piano, voice and violin reflecting the grace of the Ukrainian people."
