Bring In Your Instrument Consultation Day
For all string players, expert luthiers from Florian Leonhard will be here for a day in the workshop area to advise and diagnose the state of your instrument. Bring your violin, viola or cello for a free health-check, adjustment and set-up advice. Learner-grade and professional instruments welcome. Many good instruments fall short of their optimal sound for want of fairly minor adjustment and refitting, others have problems that may be solvable.
No booking required: instrument owners will be seen as they arrive.

Anthony also plays Anton Webern’s Variations op. 27, Frank Bayford’s Variations in a Landscape, op. 96 and his own set of Variations on a Note Row by Ingvo Clauder.

Mandolin + One — Nakyung Park (viola) and David Braid (composer/mandolin)
A highly varied collection of colourful, witty, original duos by composer David Braid, performed by violist Nakyung Park and the composer on mandolin, concert No.3 in the series “Mandolin+1”. The unusual combination of mandolin and viola makes for a uniquely clear and distinctive tonal palette. David’s works, which include three symphonies and a viola concerto, span a vast range of moods and forms.
Graduates of the Royal College of Music, The University of Oxford and The Cracow Academy of Music, the duo hold an impressive set of degrees which informs their deep insight into their chosen instruments and repertoire
