Future Stars Special

About this event:

Petroc Trelawny hosts this wonderful gathering of three extraordinary talents. Bringing them together for the first time, hear their views about life as young artists before a special performance of Hummel's lively Piano Trio. Himself a child prodigy, Hummel was a fellow student and friend of Beethoven so a very fitting piece for this one-off event.

Evening Series - Wild Spirit

About this event:

Spirits will be well and truly lifted in this imaginative program. When our Artistic Director first heard 'Spirit of the Wild'- she thought it was one of the most exciting pieces she had ever heard. Everyone knows Bolero but on four cellos? Prepare to be amazed! After four Festival violinists have fun with a Polish beauty, hear Dvořák's glorious spirit soar throughout the Piano Quartet.
