2020 SPRING SERIES! Happy Birthday to Beethoven (in 1770)
We offered you an early opportunity to celebrate this anniversary year – with some of Beethoven’s most gripping and intimate music for small-scale ensemble. AND you get a really good meal in the interval of our concerts, with a choice of two main courses and two desserts.
Thank you to all of our audience members for your support – we were really pleased that so many of you came to the concert on 10 March, with Martin Burrell (clarinet) – it was so fortunate that we were able to go ahead with this concert, as lockdown began soon after. See concerts page for more detail.
